Appropriate measures needed - Minister Ranawaka

The Green Month this year is being marked along with the sun overhead during October 15 - November 15 and in recognition of the service to the country by the war heroes we say “Canopy of trees over the heads of War Heroes” Environment and Natural Resources Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka issuing a message to mark the Green Month said.

Even while we are celebrating the Green Month there appears a doubt whether the month of monsoon rains would experience the annual heavy rainfall due to the global climate change that may affect our country too.

In this context it should be recalled that the colonial powers denuded the lush green forest cover that existed in our country and due to it we have to face natural calamities like floods climate changes affecting not only human beings but all forms of life in the entire country, the Minister said.

It is therefore imperative for us to take appropriate steps to conserve our natural resources and take stringent measures against those who continue to denude our forest cover and in this regard the Environment and Natural Resources Ministry is implementing a number of environment conservation projects including rural and urban nature conservation programs but one institution alone could not work for the conservation and protection of our environment as the whole citizenry should be conscious of its importance and cooperate to activate a national nature conservation program, the Minister said in his message.
