Israel Envoy Joins Plantation Drive in Delhi on World Earth Day

To commemorate World Earth Day, Naor Gilon, Ambassador of Israel to India, joined a unique tree-planting initiative at a public school situated in the lively Moti Bagh neighborhood of the nation’s capital earlier this week.

The event’s objective was to raise environmental consciousness and advocate for sustainability by planting trees.

Ambassador Gilon, expressing his delight at being part of the initiative, emphasized the significance of the event, stating, “We are happy to be here, contributing to the greening of Delhi. It’s crucial for us to join hands in efforts to preserve our planet for future generations.”

The plantation drive saw the planting of 600 trees within the school grounds. What distinguishes this initiative is the utilization of a unique technique, as noted by Ambassador Gilon, which facilitates the close and rapid growth of trees, thereby maximizing their environmental impact.

Speaking on the innovative approach, Ambassador Gilon elaborated, “There is a unique technique which helps them to grow very closely and fast. This method not only accelerates the growth of the trees but also ensures their optimal utilisation in combating environmental challenges.”

The event saw involvement from a range of stakeholders, such as students, teachers, and local authorities, highlighting the need for collaborative efforts to effectively tackle environmental issues.

Moreover, beyond representing a dedication to environmental preservation, the tree planting initiative also stands as evidence of the robust bilateral relations between India and Israel, emphasizing their shared commitment to sustainable development.

As the global community marks World Earth Day, endeavors such as this highlight the significance of collective action in safeguarding the Earth and nurturing a more environmentally sustainable future for everyone.

Following the successful culmination of the plantation drive, participants voiced optimism regarding the positive influence the newly planted trees will exert on the local environment, reaffirming their dedication to ongoing environmental stewardship.
