Free Report: World Environment Day 2021: Restore Ecosystem

by Sandhya Adhikari | 05-06-2021 17:11 recommendations 0

Introduction and History of World Environment Day 

On June 5 every year,  all nature empaths, environmental activist and eco worrier around the globe celebrate World Environment Day, encourage awareness, and observe its protection. Since 1974,World Environment Day has been commemorated, engaging governments, businesses, and citizens in an effort to combat and address pressing environmental issues, with participation from over 143 countries annually. This idea of celebration of World Environment Day came into existence in 1972 by the United Nations Assembly on the first day Stockholm Conference held on the human environment and later in 1974, the day started to be celebrated with the theme "Only One Earth". The day became a global platform for raising awareness and taking action on urgent issues from marine pollution and global warming to sustainable consumption and wildlife crime.

This year, the theme of World Environment Day is "Reimagine. Recreate. Restore.". The global host for the day in 2021 to highlight the importance of ecosystem restoration is Pakistan. The theme means to prevent, halt and reverse this damage – to go from exploiting nature to healing it. The theme focuses that healthy ecosystems can enhance people¡¯s livelihoods, counteract  climate change and stop the collapse of biodiversity. A report from the  WED website explains that, in every three seconds, the world loses enough forest to cover a football pitch, and over the last century, humans have destroyed half of the wetlands. It was found that 50 per cent of coral reefs have already been lost and up to 90 per cent of coral reefs could be lost by 2050, even if global warming is limited to an increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius.


My attempt to celebrate this DAY:
Last year I had celebrated this day with the campaign ¡°One Person, One Plant¡±, This campaign was the Nationwide Campaign and on a single day we succeed to plant nearly 300 plus plant sapling covering 33 districts of Nepal, with more than 150 participants of all age group, that was one of the greatest achievement and attempt for me as a programme coordinator and idea initiator.

This Year we are still on Lock down situation, so On the occasion of ¡°World Environment Day 2021¡±, YES Ag under Youth Innovation Wing in collaboration with Tunza Eco Generation Regional Ambassador to Asia had organized ¡°Convey Your Idea¡± competition where competitors were requested to present their idea to restore degrading ecosystem that have been degraded by human activities based on this year theme ¡° Ecosystem Restoration¡±. Competitors waere made to pass through two phases that is briefly cleared below:

Phase II (On June 5): Selected Top 8 from Phase had presented their idea through PowerPoint on online platform via Zoom and was evaluated by our judging panel and best 2 presenters was selected and promised them to provide them with the academic packages and some goods sponsored from Tunza Eco Generation.
 
I am absolutely glad to share with you all that we successfully accomplished our programme with a huge responses, Being a programme coordinator and Organizer team i was pleasantly surprised to see the dedication and concern of young people to act for the environmental protection.
Top 8 participant has shared their idea on the topic at the last phase, their idea were  totally impressive one. In order to give justice to their ideas and presentation, there were three jury panels Mr. Subodh Khanal an assistant professor of Gaurahada Campus, Working under Department of Agroecology, soil and Agri engineering. He has broad knowledge on Agro ecology, environment, climate change, Environment Impact assessment, sustainable agriculture , applied ethno botany, biodiversity conservation. I am equally thankful to Ms, Rima Deo, Lecturer of Amrit Science Collage working under Department of Environmental Science. She had the diverse knowledge on Environmental management strategy. Addition to this, how could I forgot Mr. Toyanath Joshi sir, working as a plant protection officer at SinghaDurbar. He has infused idea of organic agriculture, ecosystem protection and plant health. We were also glad to have academic book sponsored by him which is totally based on the vivid agricultural and environment information. I have no any words to appreciate their kind gesture to be in the programme. Despite having the crazy busy schedule they accepted our invitation and were at the jury panels.
 
Among the pool of participant, Ms. Smriti Magar and Binita Suwal succeed to hold first position. They had shared how we can act differently adopting different habit from the individual level for the protection of the ecosystem. Their idea was simple with most powerful message.
  1.  
 I would like to express my sincere congratulations to them for their thought provoking ideas on Eco System Restoration. All the participant had nicely presented their ideas, it was not so easy for jury panel to choose the winners. In order to honor their participation, all the participant will be provided with the digital e- certificate.
Last but the least, I couldn¡¯t forget Tunza Eco generation for your continuous guidance, support and motivation. My sincere gratitude to Debbie Mentor and Yuseon Mentor as well for ever encouraging me with their motivational compliments and feedbacks on our works. I would like to acknowledge all the committee member, technical teams and everyone who directly and indirectly helped us to make grand success of this programme.
