Islamabad: A large group of environmental, climate, and health journalists and climate activists gathered at the ruins of the Monal Restaurant in Margalla Hills to participate in a plantation drive, pledging to protect nature, national parks, and habitats through their storytelling and visual coverage.
Organised by Islamabad’s Climate Change Journalists Group and supported by the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB), the initiative saw dozens of saplings, including pine and other native trees, planted on the terraces of the demolished structure. The journalists, climate activists, and students vowed to return for further plantation efforts once the concrete structures are cleared.
Speaking at the event, IWMB Chairperson Rina Saeed Khan emphasised the board's commitment to restoring the Margalla Viewpoint to its natural green landscape following directives from the Supreme Court. "We are determined to transform this viewpoint into a place where people can reconnect with nature, learn about its significance, and contribute to its preservation," Rina Saeed Khan stated.
She highlighted the importance of reviving the ecosystem and biodiversity within Margalla Hills National Park and underscored IWMB’s dedication to adhering to conservation goals.
