This initiative is aimed specifically at raising awareness among children about environmental protection. As part of this ecological campaign, the presidential couple emphasized the significance of trees and the role they play in the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem.

Various local leaders and community members joined the event, reflecting a collective effort in promoting sustainability and conservation practices within the community. Officials noted that this type of action is essential in cultivating a generation that values and actively participates in the preservation of natural resources.
