Pakistan´s forest fall victim to the taliban


Hello everybody now I will show you my summary about a interesting topic about a article shown on The Guardian and tells about the Pakistan´s forests and how it fall victim of the Taliban.

Swat is an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province and once it was a luscious valley, now it´s fully of tree stumps.

The talibans finance their movement by the timber, now here is the thing the methods that the talibans use are not the appropriate for a correct harvest because they generate a tremendous damage in the ecosystem.

In Pakistan there is a organization called SAFI and they care about the environment, conserving, managing and developing forests, resducing air pollution and minimizing soil erosion, but now when the talibans take the control the SAFI operations were restricted.

Now one of those trees take around 100 years to grow and the deforestation start in 2005 and now they lost around a 40 – 50 % of the forest. The government of Pakistan wash their hands.

SAFI promote the farm forestry distributing 1.5 million plants among the local resident, residents who are de hardest hit victims of the Taliban´s responsible against forests. And in another hand SAFI host an annual assembly where they teach some conservation methods to reduce the damage.

This topic I think it´s important because is a wide-scale deforestation and need international help.

Well I hope you enjoy this summary
See you next time.
Bye.
