World Environment Day has been celebrated on June 5 every year since 1974. It is the United Nation’s primary vehicle to spread awareness about the challenges and the need for environment conservation. The theme for World Environment Day 2020 is biodiversity, a concern described as “both urgent and existential” by the Environment Day committee on its website. This year, the day is being observed with calls for urgent actions to protect our planet’s biodiversity.

“The emergence of COVID-19 has underscored the fact that, when we destroy biodiversity, we destroy the system that supports human life. By upsetting the delicate balance of nature, we have created ideal conditions for pathogens – including coronaviruses – to spread,” says the World Environment Day website.
Many volunteers in Hathazari Sub-District of Chottagram, Bangladesh came out to help Hathazari by planting 100 trees!

Founder of YBBB & Climate Activist Md. Rashedul Islam Russell said,“The reason we volunteered here today was that living in Hathazari, we love to be surrounded by many trees. I understand how important trees are to the environment and how our environment is changing with so much extra carbon dioxide in the air. Our tree is now small, but in a few years it will be large and consume all the carbon dioxide it can to make Hathazari and the
earth a better place.”
