ing as we could easily assess the quality of

food and fruit developed under natural envi-

ronment as compared to the genetically pro-

cessed foods and fruit that that only help the

body needs but not as healthy as naturally

required so we had to adopt strict measures

to control pollution to keep environment

ways to meet the environmental challenges

to protect human beings, livestock and wild-

life as well as we had to save trees which

were also a good source to control floods

and we had to form a policy in this regard to

save environment from pollution. The Pro-

gramme Manager, WWF, Asad Imran in his

address urged to change our general attitude

and should start to save natural resources as

it had been noticed we unnecessarily waste

much water on personal and domestic pur-
