On 5th June every year, World Environment Day is observed. It is an annual campaign run by United Nations Environment Program to raise global awareness about the environment and nature to protect the planet earth.
World Environment Day 2021, which counts with Pakistan as the host country this year for its official celebrations, calls for urgent action to revive our damaged ecosystems.
