Dimapur, June 2 (EMN): In what may help preserve and protect the ecosystem, the youth of Lower Forest Colony, Kohima, with the help of the Lower Forest Youth Organisation (LFYO) launched a campaign called The Green Tribe at Lower Forest Colony Community Hall on June 1.
The main objective of the campaign is not just to spread awareness among the youth but get them actively involved in protecting and preserving nature.
The Green Tribe is the brainchild of Chubarenla Longchari, DYRO Kohima and a resident of Lower Forest Colony, who advocated taking ownership of the environment and taking responsibility in preserving and protecting the ecosystem.
At the launch event, Longchari called upon the youth to come together as responsible citizens and make concerted efforts in “preserving and protecting our environment,” informed an update from DIPR. She encouraged the youth to “stop blaming the government for all our problems but rather take charge and ensure that we, as concerned citizens set aside all our differences and come together as one tribe, The Green Tribe, and actively work towards a greener and cleaner Nagaland.”
“The campaign seeks to conserve our nature by planting more fruit-bearing trees in and around the colony,” said Longchari.
The Gaonbura of Lower Forest Colony expressed gratitude to Longchari and the colony youth for starting such a noble initiative and hoped that the whole community will benefit from the endeavour in the future.
The programme concluded with the planting of fruit-bearing trees donated by the Kohima District Horticulture Officer.
