The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, emphasizing the need to take the national tree planting movement—started during Martyr Raeisi’s tenure—seriously, stated: “This plan, which began last year and continues, shows that planting one billion trees in four years is feasible, and government institutions must assist the people in this regard.”
Imam Khamenei, warning against the cutting of trees and the conversion of agricultural land use, added: “Cutting down trees, except in technical and necessary cases, is a loss and a danger, and the destruction of forests and conversion of agricultural lands must be prevented.”
