GPF India and JK Foundation plant trees in commemoration of World Environment Day 2024.

On June 5, 2024, Global Peace Foundation (GPF) India, in collaboration with the JK Foundation, celebrated World Environment Day with a series of impactful activities aimed at promoting environmental awareness and sustainability. The event took place in Durgapuri Shahdara Delhi, and witnessed enthusiastic participation from the local community, volunteers, and environmental activists.

The highlight of the event was a tree-planting drive organized in a local park. Volunteers from GPF India and the JK Foundation worked side-by-side with residents of Durgapuri to plant trees, contributing to the greening of the urban landscape. The initiative enhanced the beauty of the park while combating pollution, increasing green cover, and providing a healthier environment for future generations.

In addition to planting trees, GPF India and the JK Foundation went a step further by donating saplings to the local community. This gesture was designed to encourage residents to take an active role in nurturing their environment. By distributing trees, the organizations hoped to instill a sense of responsibility and stewardship among the people, fostering a culture of environmental conservation at the grassroots level.

Volunteers distribute tree saplings to locals to encourage community-involvement in protecting the environment.

Key representatives from both organizations delivered speeches at the event. Speakers emphasized the importance of individual and collective actions in addressing environmental challenges. They highlighted how small steps, such as planting and caring for trees, can significantly impact mitigating climate change and preserving biodiversity. The speakers also called for continued community involvement in environmental initiatives to create a more sustainable and eco-friendly urban environment.

The participants, ranging from young children to elderly citizens, expressed their enthusiasm and commitment to the cause. Many shared their personal experiences and ideas for promoting environmental conservation within their communities. The tree planting drive not only provided an opportunity for hands-on involvement but also served as a platform for raising awareness about the critical state of the environment and the urgent need for action.

By the end of the day, numerous saplings had found new homes in the park and in the hands of local residents. The event underscored the power of community collaboration and the positive impact that such initiatives can have on the environment.

GPF India and the JK Foundation’s joint celebration of World Environment Day in Durgapuri, Shahdara, Delhi, stands as a testament to their commitment to environmental sustainability. Through their efforts, they have set a commendable example of how organizations and communities can come together to make a tangible difference in the fight against environmental degradation.
