The World Environment Day commemoration was held in Tsumkwe, Otjozondjupa Region, under the theme of land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience.
The reason for commemorating the day is to raise awareness and encourage action for the protection of the environment. As the world fights with the effects of climate change, it is important for communities to safeguard their geographical ecosystems. 

The Tsumkwe constituency councillor insisted that it's a very important event for the community to join hands and fight against deforestation, which results in the loss of biodiversity, damage to natural habits, disturbance in the water cycle, and soil erosion.

Trees were handed over to various institutions by the Tsumkwe constituency councillor to be planted on their premises.
