Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme Ki Mukammal Kahani

Table of Contents

Introduction

Pakistan ki environmental history mein Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme (TBTTP) ek aisa naam hai jo duniya bhar mein sarahna hasil kar chuka hai. Yeh programme na sirf Pakistan ka sab se bara reforestation mission hai balke duniya ke chothe sab se bare aur Pakistan ke pehle sab se bare environmental initiative ke tor par bhi jana jata hai. Is article mein hum TBTTP ki ibtida se le kar iski qaumi safar tak, iski kamiyabiyon, challenges aur international recognition tak har pehlu ko tafseel se dekhenge.

The Beginning: Billion Tree Tsunami, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

TBTTP ki asal kahani 2014 mein Khyber Pakhtunkhwa se shuru hoti hai, jab us waqt ke Chief Minister Pervez Khattak ki hakumat ne suba mein degraded jangalat ki bahali ke liye “Billion Tree Tsunami” ke naam se ek project shuru kiya. Is project ka target ek billion (100 crore) podhay laga kar ya natural regeneration ke zariye bahal karna tha. Yeh initiative community-based approach par mabni tha, jisme direct seeding, nursery development aur protected plantations shamil thi.

Is provincial project ne behtareen natayij diye – taqreeban 350,000 hectares degraded zameen ko bahal kiya gaya, jo Pakistan ke Bonn Challenge commitment (0.35 million hectares by 2020) se bhi ziyada tha. International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ne is project ki independent verification bhi ki, jisme targeted areas mein healthy forest cover 2% se 35% tak barhne ki tasdeeq hui. Is project ne 165,000 se ziyada rozgar ke mawaqe bhi paida kiye.

National Upgrade: Launch of the Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme

KP ke is kamiyab tajurbe ko dekhte hue, October 2018 mein, wazir-e-azam ban’ne ke foran baad, Imran Khan ne is provincial model ko poore mulk mein wasee karne ka elan kiya. Isi tarah Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme wajood mein aya, jiska target agle paanch saalon (2019-2024) mein poore mulk mein das billion podhay lagana ya bahal karna tha. Is programme ko United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) ki bhi support hasil rahi.

TBTTP ko mukhtalif ecological zones aur landscapes mein lagoo kiya gaya, jisme sooba’i aur territorial Forest and Wildlife Departments ne mil kar kaam kiya. Reforestation activities 2019 mein shuru hui, aur June 2021 tak programme ne 1 billion podhay lagane ka mile-stone hasil kar liya.

Financial and Physical Progress

Ibtida mein TBTTP Phase-1 ke liye taqreeban Rs. 125.184 billion ka fund allocate kiya gaya. Ek research paper ke mutabiq is project ka reported budget approximately US$700 million tha, jiske zariye 1 million hectares se ziyada rakbay par podhay lagaye gaye.

December 2021 tak, TBTTP ke tehat 1.42 billion podhay lagaye ja chuke the, jo mulk bhar mein taqreeban 1.36 million acres aur 10,000 se ziyada sites par pheeले hue the. Ek third-party assessment ke mutabiq is project mein lagaye gaye podhon ki survival rate 90 fesad rahi, jo ek bohat behtareen natija tasawwur kiya jata hai.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa mein, jo is qaumi mission ka sab se bara sooba’i hissa raha, revised PC-1 ke tehat 6 saal (2019-2025) mein 1.1 billion podhay lagane ka target rakha gaya tha, jiska budget Rs. 30 billion tha. March 2023 tak KP mein 705 million podhay lagaye ja chuke the, jo 1 billion ke target ka 70 fesad tha. Is project ko akhir mein Rs. 22 billion ke bajaye sirf Rs. 16.5 billion mein mukammal kiya gaya, jo cost mein kami ki ek qaabil-e-tareef misaal hai.

Gilgit Baltistan mein bhi is programme ka ek khaas component chalaya gaya, jiske tehat 170 million podhay poore ilaqe mein lagaye jane ka mansooba tha, jiske liye Rs. 6,920 million forest component, Rs. 650 million protective areas aur Rs. 359 million wildlife component ke liye allocate kiye gaye.

Employment and Community Participation

TBTTP ka ek sab se ba-asar pehlu is se paida hone wale green jobs hain. COVID-19 pandemic ke dauran, jab poori duniya ki maeeshat muta’assir hui, Forest and Wildlife Departments ne is programme ke tehat green stimulus ke zariye 84,609 logon ko rozgar faraham kiya. KP mein akele is programme ne 500,000 se ziyada green jobs paida kiye.

Mahali communities ki shirkat is project ki kamiyabi ka sab se bara raaz rahi hai. Village councils ne “forest watchers” (neghbans) muqarrar kiye, jo community forests ke enclosed hisson ki dekhbhal karte the taake natural regeneration mumkin ho sake. KP mein akele 4,509 neghbans ko deploy kiya gaya, jinhon ne 4,509 enclosures ke zariye degraded jangalat ki bahali mein madad ki. WWF ki ek report ke mutabiq in degraded forests mein per hectare 2,412 naye podhay regenerate hue.

Mahali communities ne pehle nurseries develop ki, phir podhon ko lagane ke baad unki hifazat ki, jis se survival rate itni ziyada rahi. Naye podhon ko darya kinaron, canals aur pahari sarkon ki slopes ko mazboot karne ke liye bhi istemal kiya gaya, jabke farm forestry ke zariye zarai zameenon mein bhi tree resources shamil kiye gaye.

International Recognition

Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme ko sirf Pakistan mein hi nahi balke international level par bhi sarahna mili. Yeh programme duniya ka chotha sab se bara aur Pakistan ka pehla sab se bara environmental initiative qarar diya gaya hai. United Nations ki taraf se bhi is programme ki tareef ki gayi, aur ise ecosystem restoration decade ke liye ek model project ke tor par pesh kiya gaya.

Darpaish Challenges

Har bare paimane ke project ki tarah, TBTTP ko bhi kuch challenges ka samna raha:

Kuch research studies ne is baat ki nishandehi ki ke bare paimane ke tree-planting projects mein mahali stakeholders ki participation aur exclusion ka masla dekha gaya, yani har jagah communities ko barabar mawaqe nahi mil sake.
Kuch reports ke mutabiq project ki completion ke baad designated forests ki tadaad mein izafa nahi hua, jo iski long-term sustainability par sawal uthata hai.
Ex-FATA (sabiqa qabaili ilaqon) jaise mushkil aur dor daraz ilaqon mein implementation apne aap mein ek bara challenge raha, jahan security aur infrastructure ki kami thi.

The Programme’s Journey Ahead

TBTTP ki kamiyabi ke baad, is model ko aage barhate hue Green Pakistan Programme (GPP) aur baad mein Upscaling of Green Pakistan Programme (UGPP) ke naam se mazeed wasee kiya gaya, jo ab 2028 tak jari rahega. Is tarah TBTTP ne sirf apne target ko hi poora nahi kiya, balke Pakistan mein ek naya environmental movement bhi shuru kar diya, jisme awam, mahali communities aur hakumat sab ek sath kaam kar rahe hain.

Conclusion

Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme sirf ek shajarkari project nahi, balke ek aisi kahani hai jo dikhati hai ke agar sooba’i level par ek chota model kamiyab ho jaye to use qaumi satah par wasee kar ke bare paimane par natayij hasil kiye ja sakte hain. KP ke Billion Tree Tsunami se le kar qaumi TBTTP tak, is programme ne lakhon rozgar paida kiye, arbon podhay lagaye aur Pakistan ko international environmental map par ek mo’assar maqam dilaya. Yeh mission ab bhi Green Pakistan Programme ki shakal mein jari hai, aur Pakistan ke ma-ha-wal (environment) ke mustaqbil ke liye ek roshan misaal ban chuka hai.
