SAVING THE TREES
The world's largest juniper forest in Balochistan, Pakistan, is dwindling at an alarming rate and authorities have begun to take steps to check the damage. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) is helping the government in the province to devise a strategy to preserve the rare juniper forest spread in and around the Ziarat valley. Balochistan governor Amirul Mulk Mengal met IUCN officers to discuss various preservation options to prevent juniper trees from being used as fuel in the province's sole hill resort.
