Every citizen should plant one fruit, timber and medicinal tree to improve our quality of life, Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Saber Hossain Chowdhury said on Sunday.

“By planting trees collectively, we will be able to build a greener, healthier and more sustainable and resilient environment,” the minister said while launching the 'One Tree4Mother' campaign in Bangladesh by planting a Neem tree at the Indian Embassy in Dhaka.
