Trees are the longest-lived organisms in the world. They provide shelter and food for innumerable species of birds, mammals and insects. Bangladesh has an aging population of broad leaf trees. A large number of trees are in their latter years, some are vulnerable to storm damage and natural decay. In the storms of 1988 and 2007, nineteen million trees were destroyed. A host of diseases killed more than thirty million trees.

Tree plantation can ensure the survival of species that are threatened by habitat loss, maintaining the ecosystems on which human lives depend. It?s important to safeguard our ecological heritage for future generations.

To raise awareness among mass people on tree plantation Tarupallab organized its 19^th Know Plants and Trees Program on 2^nd February, 2015 in Ramna Park, Dhaka. Botanist Shamsul Hoq, Birdwatcher Inam al Hoq and Mokarram Hossen were present in the program. The founder of Tarupallab, Author and Professor Dizen Shwarma was honored in the program as well.
