Voice of climate-by Naseem Sheikh

  While living in China, one can clearly observe the fact that people here love nature very much. Every colour of nature, be it trees, flowers, rivers, or any form of biodiversity, is the way of thinking and behaviour of Chinese people. Both will focus on nature conservation. When it comes to water resources, after visiting various coastal areas and rivers of China, you must pay tribute to the Chinese government and the Chinese people for how they have preserved these beautiful natural colours. No encroachments will be seen, no garbage will be found, no contaminated water from any factory is discharged here and no human activity can be seen which is detrimental to these resources. One of the main reasons for this is the attitude of China’s top leadership, which convinces the people that we should not develop at the expense of nature but promote economic and social development that is in harmony with nature. China’s top leaders regularly review the biological environment of these wa...

 For the majority of the public, it would be interesting and surprising to discover that glaciers are male and female. However, even more, astonishing and unbelievable is the fact that glaciers can be created. When it comes to glaciers, no one in the world knows more about glaciers than the people of Gilgit-Baltistan. The region of Gilgit-Baltistan is totally dependent on glaciers as the water of the glaciers is what gives rise to agriculture in Gilgit-Baltistan. At the same time, it has given rise to such exercises and endeavours which are extremely astonishing. This is not unusual, given the fact that the world’s largest and most glaciers outside the polar region are found in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Farming in Gilgit-Baltistan comes into being because of these glaciers. This dependence has not only given rise to an enchanting chain of beliefs about glaciers but has also given rise to some amazing exercises and endeavours. Another interesting fact is that there is no consensus...

 In recent years, Gilgit-Baltistan University, Karakoram International University Gilgit, and Wafa Foundation have teamed up with locals to create five artificial glaciers in Gilgit-Baltistan. Five artificial glaciers have been created in Gilgit-Baltistan to counter the effects of climate change and to ensure that locals have access to water in summer. In addition, the procedure is part of the Glacier Lake Out Burst Flood Risk Reduction (GLOF-II) project, launched by the Ministry of Climate Change. The University of Gilgit-Baltistan, Karakoram International University Gilgit of Pakistan, Wafa Foundation, and the local people of Chandu village, Skardu, Nagar’s Marko village, Hussainabad village, and Khawardo village cooperated in this excellent environmental cause. This new development will fight climate change and store water. With more than 7000 glaciers, Gilgit-Baltistan is called the land of glaciers. But where some glaciers are not formed naturally, an ancient technique of graf...
