Theme: Time for Nature
KVK Chinyalisaur (Uttarkashi)
Like every year, this year the World Environment Day was observed on 5th
June, 2020 at KVK
Chinyalisaur (Uttarkashi). The function began with special welcome and assembly speech by Dr.
Pankaj Nautiyal, In-charge KVK who emphasized on protecting environment and care for nature.
All the KVK officials and field staff participated in the ceremony. After the assembly sapling
plantation was done by KVK staff in the farm’s premises.
This year’s hosts are Columbia, in partnership with Germany and the theme was “Time for
Nature” to focus on the role of environment in providing the essential infrastructure that supports
life on Earth and human development. UN Secretary-General António Guterres tweeted that, “To
care for humanity, we must care for nature. As we work to build back better, let’s put nature
where it belongs - at the heart of our decision making. On #WorldEnvironmentDay and every
day, it’s time #ForNature".
Young generation has a pivotal role in preventing the loss of biodiversity and preserving nature
for our future and amidst the ongoing global pandemic (COVID 19), it is high time to wake up
and realize the importance of nature in healing the mind, body and soul. Nevertheless,
afforestation, reforestation and minimizing deforestation is always important to improve the air
quality and environmental health as a whole. At the end, all the participants were appealed to
adopt green ways of life and also to create awareness regarding the same.
