ਕੁਦਰਤ ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਅਨਮੋਲ ਤੋਹਫ਼ਾ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਦੀ ਸਾਂਭ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਕਰਨਾ ਸਾਡੇ ਸਾਰਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਨੈਤਿਕ ਫ਼ਰਜ਼ ਹੈ। ਅੱਜ 'ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਕੁਦਰਤ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਦਿਵਸ' ਮੌਕੇ ਆਓ ਆਪਣੇ ਕੁਦਰਤੀ ਸੋਮਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਬਚਾਉਣ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਦੀ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਣ ਕਰੀਏ। pic.twitter.com/YQyuGtQxTR

In his message shared on X (formerly Twitter), the Chief Minister wrote, “Nature is a priceless gift of creation, and it is our moral duty to protect and preserve it. On this World Nature Conservation Day, let us pledge to protect our natural wealth and take care of our environment.”

The statement aligns with the Punjab government's ongoing initiatives aimed at sustainable development

The statement aligns with the Punjab government's ongoing initiatives aimed at sustainable development, increasing green cover, and combating climate change through community-driven efforts. From groundwater conservation to afforestation campaigns, the Aam Aadmi Party-led administration has been vocal about prioritizing ecological balance in its governance model.

Environmental experts welcomed the Chief Minister’s message, calling it timely and necessary in an era of rapid urbanisation and environmental degradation. “Political will and public participation together can bring about meaningful change. Leaders like CM Bhagwant Mann setting this tone help push conservation efforts to the forefront,” said an environmentalist based in Mohali.

World Nature Conservation Day is observed globally on July 28 every year to raise awareness about the importance of a healthy environment and to encourage sustainable practices that ensure the protection of natural ecosystems for future generations.

As Punjab continues to grapple with environmental challenges like declining water tables and depleting forest cover, Mann’s message acts as a reminder of the collective effort needed to preserve the state's natural legacy.
