Plants Destroyed in Pak - Jul11,'26


 نہر کنارے سو سے زائد پودے - خواب کو چکنا چور

کسی لعنتی بدبخت نے حسد میں آکر نہر کنارے سو سے زائد پودے، ایک شخص کی راتوں کی نیند اور دن کا پسینہ — سب کچھ چند لمحوں میں اکھاڑ پھینکا گیا۔ اس بدبخت کو آخر کتنا فائدہ ہوا ہوگا؟

نہر کے کنارے، جہاں کبھی صرف خشک مٹی اور ویرانی کا راج تھا، وہاں غلام رسول پاکستانی نامی ایک عام سے شخص نے خواب دیکھا — ایک ایسا خواب جو اپنے لیے نہیں، آنے والی نسلوں کے لیے تھا۔ اس نے اپنا وقت، اپنی محنت اور اپنی جیب سے پیسے لگا کر سو سے زائد پودے لگائے۔ نہ کسی نے اسے کہا، نہ کسی نے مجبور کیا۔ یہ خالص محبت تھی، مٹی سے، ماحول سے، اور اس قوم کے مستقبل سے۔ ہر صبح وہ ان پودوں کو پانی دیتا، ہر شام انہیں دیکھ کر دل ہی دل میں سکون محسوس کرتا۔ یہ صرف پودے نہیں تھے، یہ اس کی امیدیں تھیں جو زمین میں جڑ پکڑ رہی تھیں۔

مگر قسمت یا شاید کچھ بے حس ہاتھوں نے اس خواب کو چکنا چور کر دیا۔ کسی نامعلوم اور غیر ذمہ دار شخص نے، جسے نہ ماحول کی فکر تھی نہ کسی کی محنت کا احساس، رات کی تاریکی میں یا دن کی روشنی میں — یہ ابھی تک واضح نہیں — ان سو سے زائد پودوں کو جڑ سے اکھاڑ کر پھینک دیا۔ یہ عمل صرف پودوں کی تباہی نہیں، یہ ایک انسان کے جذبے، وقت اور امید کا قتل تھا۔ افسوس اس بات کا ہے کہ ابھی تک یہ واضح نہیں ہو سکا کہ یہ حرکت جان بوجھ کر کی گئی یا کسی غفلت کا نتیجہ تھی — اور جب تک تحقیقات مکمل نہ ہوں، کسی مخصوص فرد یا گروہ پر الزام لگانا مناسب نہیں۔

شجر دوست ٹیم سہارا نے اس واقعے پر گہرے دکھ کا اظہار کیا اور غلام رسول پاکستانی صاحب سے دلی ہمدردی کا اظہار کیا۔ ان کی دعا ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ اس نیک انسان کی محنت کو قبول فرمائے اور اسے دوبارہ ہمت دے کہ وہ پہلے سے بھی بڑھ کر شجرکاری کرے۔ کیونکہ حقیقت یہ ہے کہ چند بدنیت افراد کبھی بھی اچھے لوگوں کے حوصلے پست نہیں کر سکتے۔ جو لوگ زمین میں سبزہ بوتے ہیں، وہ دراصل قوم کے مستقبل میں سرمایہ کاری کرتے ہیں۔

یہاں سوال صرف ایک شخص کے نقصان کا نہیں، بلکہ پورے معاشرے کی ذمہ داری کا ہے۔ متعلقہ اداروں اور مقامی انتظامیہ کو چاہیے کہ عوامی مقامات پر لگائے گئے پودوں کی حفاظت کے لیے سیکیورٹی کیمرے، نگرانی کا نظام اور واضح قوانین بنائیں۔ جو لوگ ثابت شدہ طور پر ایسی حرکتوں میں ملوث پائے جائیں، ان کے خلاف قانون کے مطابق سخت کارروائی ہونی چاہیے، تاکہ مستقبل میں کوئی بھی شخص ماحول دشمنی کی جرأت نہ کرے۔ لیکن یہ بھی ضروری ہے کہ کارروائی صرف ثبوت اور تحقیق کی بنیاد پر ہو، نہ کہ الزام تراشی یا افواہوں پر۔

یہ واقعہ ہم سب کے لیے ایک سبق ہے۔ اگر ہم نے کسی کو درخت کاٹتے، اکھاڑتے یا نقصان پہنچاتے دیکھا اور خاموش رہے، تو ہم بھی اس جرم میں برابر کے شریک ہیں۔ درخت لگانے والے ہمارے محسن ہیں، اور محسنوں کی حوصلہ افزائی کرنا ہماری اجتماعی ذمہ داری ہے، نہ کہ ان کی حوصلہ شکنی۔ آئیے عہد کریں کہ ہم خاموش تماشائی نہیں بنیں گے، بلکہ ماحول کے محافظ بنیں گے — کیونکہ ایک درخت کی حفاظت دراصل ایک نسل کی حفاظت ہے۔

Eucalyptus (Sufaida) Tree - Disadvantages -Jul'26


 Eucalyptus (Sufaida) Tree - Disadvantages for Pakistan
[Non-native Tree]

سفیدہ یہاں کا مقامی درخت نہیں ہے۔ یہ آسٹریلیا اور تسمانیہ کا مقامی درخت ہے۔
1980 کی دہائی میں Pakistan Forest Institute کی طرف سے USAID کے تعاون سے لگایا گیا تھا۔
یہ درخت اپنی لمبائی میں کھجور کے درخت کی طرح بہت اونچا ہوتا ہے۔ اس کی لکڑی نرم اور سیدھی ہوتی ہے۔ اس درخت میں نہ پھل لگتا ہے اور نہ ہی اس سے سائے کی امید رکھی جا سکتی ہے۔
یہ درخت زیر زمین پانی کھارا کرنے کی قدرتی مشین ھے اور یہ روزانہ بہت پانی پیتا ھے۔ اس کے پتے جہاں کرتے ھین وھاں کوئ بھی فصل نہین اگتی۔ اور یہ گرمی مین خود ھی ٹوٹ کہ گرتا ھے۔ اس درخت کی فوائد کم نقصانات زیادہ ھوتے ھین۔

Record-Breaking Ocean Temperatures - Jul'26


RECORD-BREAKING OCEAN TEMPERATURES - July 2026

Global ocean surface temperatures just shattered all previous records, plunging the planet into 'uncharted territory' as a powerful El Niño collides with human-caused climate change.

Global ocean surface temperatures reached unprecedented heights last month, surpassing all-time records set in 2024 and officially pushing the planet into what scientists are calling 'uncharted territory.'
Confirmed independently by the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service and Copernicus Marine Service, the rapid spike has seen average ocean temperatures climb just shy of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This alarming surge is driven by a dangerous confluence of human-caused climate change and the early onset of a potential 'super' El Niño event.
Experts warn that the compounding effects of these phenomena are likely to trigger increasingly extreme storms, severe droughts, and a relentless cycle of shattered temperature records in the coming months.
This climate milestone is more than just a statistic; it signals a critical decline in the Earth's natural ability to regulate heat. The world's oceans serve as our primary defense against global warming, absorbing roughly 90 percent of the excess heat generated by human greenhouse gas emissions. However, as these waters warm, their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide diminishes, threatening to accelerate the climate crisis. This ocean warming trend is already manifesting on land, coinciding with crushing heatwaves across North America that have left hundreds of millions of people exposed to dangerous, stifling temperatures. With the ocean’s health in rapid decline, scientists are urging immediate action before the planet's primary heat sink loses its ability to protect us.

Babar Ali's 100th Birthday - Jul01,'26



SYED BABAR ALI'S 100th BIRTHDAY - Jul01,2026

Warm birthday wishes to Syed Babar Ali, one of Pakistan's most respected businessmen, philanthropists and visionaries who has turned 100 years old ma Sha Allah.

Syed Babar Ali is a renowned Pakistani businessman, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and educationist who has been recognized for his immense contributions and impact in the fields of education, business, politics, culture, and environmental conservation. He has helped to establish several multinational manufacturing and service companies in Pakistan, and has also led initiatives for cultural preservation and for promoting equality and excellence in education.

He is the founder of Packages Limited, Milkpak Limited - now Nestlé Pakistan Limited, and Lahore University of Management Sciences, a premier higher education institution in Pakistan. He briefly served as the Finance Minister of Pakistan in 1993. He was also the Founding President of World Wildlife Fund-Pakistan and then later became the International President of World Wildlife Fund (WWF) from 1996 to 1999, succeeding Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. He now serves on the board of Coca Cola Pakistan, Siemens Pakistan, and Sanofi-Aventis.

Syed Babar Ali was born in Lahore in 1926. His father Syed Maratib Ali operated a family-owned provisions store for individual regiments of the British Army, and his mother Syeda Mubarik Begum was the daughter of Faqir Syed Iftikharuddin, a member of the Indian Political Service, the elite service of the British Empire. Syed Babar was one of ten children - four sons and six daughters.

He went to the Sacred Heart School for nursery and elementary education until he was eight years old, and then attended Aitchison college. After graduating from Aitchison, he studied Physics and Chemistry at Government College and earned a BSc degree in 1945.

Although Syed Babar Ali wanted to continue his studies in science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he decided to attend University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in 1947 to take courses in Business Administration since his father wanted him to eventually join and manage the family business. He went back to Pakistan after completing two semesters of coursework, but returned to the US in 1973 to complete a 13-week Advanced Management Program offered at the Harvard Business School.

After his return to the newly independent state of Pakistan in 1947, he joined his family in setting up new businesses for importing and exporting cotton textiles as well as establishing ginning mills and a motor car company. In 1956, he founded Packages Limited, one of the earliest facilities in Pakistan for converting paper and board into packaging. In 1978, Packages Limited expanded its operations to include a milk processing plant and packaging which became Milkpak Limited. This company was acquired by Nestle, and is now the largest food company in Pakistan.

Syed Babar Ali’s other ventures in business include National Fertilizer Corporation, Systems Limited, Siemens-Pakistan, Coca-Cola Beverages Pakistan Limited and Tri-Pack Films Limited.

His business philosophy has always emphasized egalitarianism and empowering the youth of Pakistan to come forward and take responsibility for growth and change. His business ethics are rooted in self-discipline, fairness, impartiality, and respect. His philanthropic initiatives include Babar Ali Foundation which was founded in 1985. The Foundation gives about a million dollars a year primarily for education and health in Pakistan. He is also a member of Layton Rehmatullah Benevolent Trust Karachi and Shalamar Hospital Lahore.

He also helped to set up Naqsh, an Art School with the purpose of providing training in drawing, ceramics, miniature painting, and landscape primarily catering to people from the Walled City of Lahore, but also people from less affluent localities elsewhere. The Naqsh School has enrolled over a thousand students in the ten years of its existence and continues to enable people to learn new skills and earn a reasonable living.

Syed Babar Ali’s efforts to develop Pakistan’s material and human resources extend into higher education and LUMS is a fine example of his solid dedication and determination to provide Pakistnai youth an educational institution based on international models and standards. Syed Babar Ali’s vision for establishing LUMS was to improve the general quality of business in the country for which good managers were needed both in the public as well as the private sector. The idea was to produce a large pool of young men and women who could manage business, industry and banking.

LUMS was founded with public and private financial contributions as well as assistance from the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The Suleman Dawood School of Business was the first school established at LUMS in 1986. However, Syed Babar Ali soon realized that with business management, the country can be improved in a limited way and if he wanted to make a quantum leap, then value would have to be added through what the country produces through the study of science, engineering, law, and social sciences. LUMS has expanded over the years to encompass 12 schools which produce top-quality graduates equipped with the knowledge and skills to be leaders in whichever field they choose.

Syed Babar Ali also founded Ali Institute of Education for training of primary and secondary school teachers. He serves as a Board Member of several important educational institutions of Lahore including his alma mater Aitchison College, Kinnaird College, and Lahore School of Economics. He is also a Founding Member of the South Asia Initiative of Harvard University and the Co-Chair of South Asia Centre for Policy Studies currently based in Nepal.

He has been recognized for his outstanding work and has received numerous honours and awards including from the Government of Sweden, the Netherlands, an Order of British Empire (OBE) from Britain, and was also awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree of Laws from McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

Pakistan, and the world, would be a much better place if we have a few more people like Syed Babar Ali. Happy Birthday Syed Babar Ali ! May your legacy of wisdom, generosity and leadership continues to inspire Pakistan and the world for many years to come.
