Grow trees extensively for regional greening

The government conserves the nation's natural resources systematically.Now,it is nurturing more than 60,000 square miles of forest reserves and protected natural forests for sustainable progress of the forests across the nation.
So far,the government has established over one million square acres of forests including special teak plantations,tree plantations for commercial purpose,tree plantation for village firewood,tree plantations for producing industrial raw materials,and watershed tree plantations.
The arid zone situated in central Myanmar constitutes about 10 percent of the total area of the nation.The Nine-Distinct Greening Project was put into action in 1994 to regenerate the arid zone.Then,the project was expanded to cover as many as 13 districts.
Many dam clusters were built in the arid zone and local farmers come to grow crops extensively with the use of the water from the dams.So,that contributes towards the greening of the arid zone and antidesertification.
Myanmar's natural resources play an important role in the drive for national development and economic growth.
Thus,the natural resources are to be harnessed the most expeditiously.
The government is taking measures in a systematic way for environmental conservation and protecting forests.
Therefore,local organizations and people should grow more and more trees and conserve the nation's forests that serve as an engine for the greening of the region concerned.
