International Biodiversity Day
Yamunanagar: The Haryana Biodiversity Board celebrated International Biodiversity Day at Guru Nanak Khalsa (GNK) Group of institutions. The event saw the participation of students and faculty from Guru Nanak Khalsa College, Yamunanagar, Guru Gobind Singh College of Pharmacy and Guru Nanak Khalsa Institute of Technology and Management. Vasvi Tyagi, Chief Conservator of Forests, Ambala, emphasised the critical role of biodiversity conservation in sustainable development. She said till 1830, Haryana was rich in biodiversity. Lions, tigers and leopards were seen in its forests. It’s during the colonial rule that these species disappeared as the British destroyed forest in the name of development. She asked participants to reclaim Haryana’s past by making it a biodiversity-rich region again. Dr Peer Ghulam Nabi, chief executive officer of the GNK Group of Institutions, said the society and state had responsibility towards the future generations. Therefore, ecological preservation had to be central to the development agenda. Each participant committed to plant 1,050 trees in their lifetime.
