Chairperson's Remarks
Rapid urbanization, industrialization,
uncontrolled and unplanned migration to
urban areas has created a devastating
environmental degradation, which is
threatening sustainability of the very life
support system.
The degradation of the environment is making
mankind environmental refugees. The
nightmare of every urban planner is Mexico
city. The present day environmental crisis
demands a revision and reshaping of human
beings’ attitude towards life and nature.
Human kind has an ethical responsibility no
to tamper with the evolution of life on
Earth. The degrading environment of the
Mother Earth should be a common concern of
all the earth dwellers. Accordingly we must
dare to adopt a sustainable vision guided by
sustainable life style which will thrive in
coexistence with nature.
Since women and nature are associated not in
passivity but in creativity, the Save the
Environment Foundation has been doing its
utmost efforts to contribute to preserve the
environment with the theme – from
confrontation to coexistence with nature for
future generations through promotion of
greenery by creating green belts, green
parks, green gardens and other forms of tree
plantation.
At the time when human beings are suffering
from the fatal consequences of climate
change, SEF looks forward to further
contributing to safeguarding the environment
of the Mother Earth through promotion of
green movement by working hand-in-hand with
GOs, NGOs and private sectors.
