The world environment day is initiated by the United nation to create awareness about the significance of nature to the public to protect the environment. The day was established in 1972 at the first Human environment conference in Stockholm and observed on June 5th every year. This years the theme is Ecosystem Restoration : Reimagine. Recreate. Restore.
It is very applicable to Sri Lanka given the current situation with the e-press pearl ship disaster off Colombo harbour . We will have to Reimagine. Recreate and Restore our ocean, beaches and marine life.
With the environment day this year UN is launching "A Decade of Eco System Restoration" project to heal our planet by reviving damaged ecosystems. We can grow trees and change our life style to restore our environment to protect the rivers ,ocean and forest for future generations.
