Chitralis walk for environment in Islamabad

Islamabad --An environmental and peace walk was held in Islamabad organized by Chitral Heritage and Environment Protection Society (CHEPS).

The participants of the walk held banners and placards highlighting the need to protect the earth for the survival of humanity. They cleaned park area and removed waste materials at Shakar Parian to create awareness among the people about negative impacts of environmental pollution on the human life and the need to fight, individually and collectively against the environmental pollution.

The participants laid special emphasis on the need to protect environment and indigenous cultural values, and promote peace and harmony. Chital and valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan host the great glaciers of Pakistan and therefore need special attention with regard to environmental education and protective measures.

Rehmat Ali, the chairman CHEPS while talking to media and the participants laid stress upon the need to work as a team to create awareness about the hazards of global warming and environmental change --CN report , 12 Dec 2010
