On 22 August 2026, a nationwide tree plantation initiative was organized under the initiative of Clemon and implemented by Lal Sabuj Society, with the aim of promoting environmental sustainability and preserving Bangladesh’s native and Geographical Indication (GI) recognized fruit varieties.

As part of the initiative, a total of 45,000 native and GI fruit trees were planted across the country. The programme covered all eight divisions of Bangladesh, with 1,400 volunteers from Lal Sabuj Society actively participating in the plantation activities.

The initiative focused on more than simply increasing tree coverage. A key objective was to contribute to the conservation of native fruit varieties and GI-recognized fruits that are an important part of Bangladesh’s agricultural heritage and biodiversity.

Volunteers participated in plantation activities across different communities, helping create greater awareness about the importance of trees, biodiversity, and environmental protection. The involvement of a large number of young volunteers also helped strengthen community participation in environmental conservation.

Native fruit trees can play an important role in maintaining ecological balance while also providing food and livelihood opportunities for local communities. By promoting the plantation and conservation of indigenous fruit varieties, the initiative seeks to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.

The nationwide campaign reflects the importance of collective action in addressing environmental challenges. Through the combined efforts of Clemon, Lal Sabuj Society, and its 1,400 volunteers, the initiative took a significant step toward expanding green coverage, protecting native fruit diversity, and encouraging communities to take greater responsibility for environmental conservation.

The plantation of 45,000 trees across eight divisions stands as a collective commitment to a greener Bangladesh, where environmental protection and the preservation of local biodiversity go hand in hand.
