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.
