I am surprised DW has published a somewhat positive article about Pakistan.

DW is weird, sometimes they post extremely anti-Pakistan videos and sometimes they post very pro-Pakistan videos like these:

Sadly, I can't find any modern stats regarding Pakistan's forest cover.

No you are ded wrong here saar .
, I know its hard to imagine in today's scenario but punjab even till baburs arrival had large forest cover.
Akin to forests in central India today .
Babur saw elephants, lions , tigers rhinos , gharials and all sorts of fauna .
But , after akbar , the agricultural transformation of punjab as we understand today started at earnest .
Later on when nadir shah passed via punjab to invade Delhi in 1739, he remarked about plain fields instead of forests as observed by babur in 1526.

Meltdown in the Himalayas - The politics of climate change | DW Documentary​

The World Health Organisation puts the number of deaths from climate change at 250,000 by 2050. A combination of bad policies and political apathy is speeding up climate change. Have we reached the tipping point? Can it be reversed? Pakistan takes a bold bid to mitigate worsening climate change. The word Himalaya means House of Snow, and is the second largest icecap outside the polar regions. But it is melting at the fastest rate in human history. One-third of the Himalayan glaciers are projected to disappear by the end of this century due to climate change, threatening the supply of water to nearly 2 billion people across South Asia. We discover how water became a major flash point between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, due to the Siachen glacier conflict, and go undercover to observe the proliferation of water thieves in Karachi. We also examine the impact of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s billion tree tsunami, Pakistan’s bold bid to mitigate worsening climate change. Along the way, we meet people and activists trying to find ways to tackle the biggest issue of the 21st century.

I had seen the documentary. Along with some other ones which present hypothetical pictures of what happens when/if our planet warms up 3 or 4 degrees Celsius. Some about the use of nuclear energy for desalination. Plus some others about reversing desertification. Sustainable farming. And of course about renewaable energy. You Tube algorithm presents me with such videos daily.

Coming back to the topic, I have often said here that if/when Pakistan solves its water management problem then no stopping Pakistan. But that's a race against time and a big IF/WHEN.

Despite all the doom and gloom, by browsing such videos, a hopeful picture could still emerge: The use of risky but incredibly efficient use of nuclear energy to provide energy needs of the planet; the forecasts of human population plateauing and even dropping; the migration of human beings from regions away from parched lands into lands where there would be less people but cooler and more/new arable AND vast land (Russia; Canada; Nordic Europe; northern US, especially Alaska; New Zealand; Patagonia...). But that is unless humanity destroys itself in a nuclear holocaust before that....

Guys believe it or not the transformation of winter to summer in 2022 is the weirdest I've seen in years. There was no spring in-between. Direct from winter to extreme summer.

There is still One horn Rino living in Ujung Kulon, Banten Province, next to Jakarta

A lot of work needs to be done - this includes sustainable farming practices, reducing dependency of fossil fuels, reducing carb footprint of consumables and FMCG, reforestation and investment in renewable energy sources. Climate change is a reality - and whilst many people were shoving the head in the sand, all those people who were shouting "NO PLANET B" were right.

Agreed.

No burning of residual crops but to use it as mulching. Amazed to see how people are thinking and progressing, they are very few in numbers. The good part is that they are sharing their knowledge for the betterment of the farmer community and it will directly impact the environment:

This is a future idea and is in experiment phases:

There are 2339 in india , while 74 in Indonesia.
Anyway, yours is javan rhino

 

[ghazi52]

Everybody should take it seriously, and fight for the betterment for the future.
It is a collective task, without any boundaries.
