Along with planting trees, instilling a sense of responsibility to care for them and nurture them into trees is also an important objective of this campaign.
This campaign is an initiative to broaden environmental protection, not limit it to government efforts alone, but to include public participation. Through the campaign, the message of increasing greenery, maintaining environmental balance, and creating a safe and clean environment for future generations is being conveyed through the participation of as many citizens as possible.
It is noteworthy that through the “One Tree in the Name of Mother” campaign, efforts are being made to transform environmental protection into a mass movement by connecting citizens across the country with tree planting.
