Hardap Region has committed to planting at least 75 000 trees as part of Namibia’s national drive to plant two million trees by 2035.

The Otjiwarongo Constituency Office handed over 50 free tree plants to residents in honour of the 12 May Movement, honouring the late Founding President Sam Nujoma, who was born on the same day.

Maintaining a positive attitude, adopting healthy lifestyles and serving others are the key components required for longevity. 

These were some of the remarks made by the Director of Health in the ||Kharas Region, Sandra Owoses, during a tree planting ceremony at the Keetmanshoop hospital.

The ||Kharas Region participated in the nationwide tree-planting ceremony, marking the birthday of the late statesman since his death in February this year.

The tree-planting ceremony took place at the soon-to-be-inaugurated ||Kharas Regional Council Office Park. 

Oshana Governor Elia Irimari led a tree-planting event at Ondangwa in honour of the late Founding President Sam Nujoma, whose wish was to see a greener Namibia and a healthier, cleaner environment.

In a heartwarming initiative that merges environmental conservation with women's empowerment, rural women across the diverse communities of Ozondati and Otjohorongo in the Erongo Region are leading the charge to plant trees and secure a greener future.

Namibians have been urged to plant more trees than the number of those they cut down.

The Minister of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta, made the call at the celebration of National Arbor Day at Osona village in Okahandja.
