Green Guardians of the Drying River
In a dry region of Bangladesh, a community responded to environmental challenges by initiating a forest conservation project along a river that has been gradually drying up. Faced with extreme heat, they planted trees to restore the landscape and improve local conditions. The newly established forest provides multiple benefits: it helps stabilize the riverbanks, prevents erosion, and offers a cooling effect for the area. Families now live harmoniously beside the thriving trees, demonstrating how local efforts can foster resilience and create a sustainable environment amidst adversity.
