In his address, the Lt Governor highlighted the need for land restoration to reverse the challenges of land degradation, drought and desertification.

‘Environment First’ is our vision and we are committed to revive the damaged ecosystem. Our collective efforts to reverse the degradation of ecosystems will boost livelihoods, food security and prevent extreme weather situation, the Lt Governor said.

He called upon NGOs, financial institutions, business organizations, volunteers, civil society members and individuals to act as ‘Agents of Change’ and dedicate themselves towards ecological preservation and restoration. Pollution prevention, increasing green cover and conservation of natural resources should be our common goals, he said.

On the occasion, the Lt Governor reiterated the commitment of the UT Administration towards environment conservation and promotion of sustainable-living. He also talked about the initiatives and programs of the government aimed at protecting and preserving J&K’s rich biodiversity.

The Lt Governor set two important goals for the citizens- to stop the use of single-use plastic and to strengthen the Waste Management System. He also appealed to the people living in rural areas to identify such works in their villages which can help restore the ecosystem and prevent land degradation.

Appreciating the contribution of Nigeen Lake Conservation Organization in transforming the Gilsar-Khushalsar waterbody, the Lt Governor assured all possible support from the administration to the organization in its endeavours.
