Myanmar's military families conducted their annual environmental initiative near Yezin Dam yesterday. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing directed the third monsoon tree-growing ceremony of 2025 in Zeyathiri Township. The defense chief planted a teak sapling to begin the event. Military personnel and their families participated alongside government officials from various departments.
The ceremony added 2,400 new trees to the area around Yezin Dam. Workers planted 900 teak trees, 600 ironwood specimens, 300 gum-kino saplings, and 600 mahogany trees. This annual tradition began in 2011 and has resulted in 208,425 trees across 44 separate ceremonies. The reforestation effort supports Myanmar's environmental conservation goals.
Min Aung Hlaing addressed climate change during the ceremony. He emphasized that deforestation contributes to the exacerbation of extreme weather patterns globally. The general called tree planting essential for reducing the risks of natural disasters. He urged citizens to invest time and resources in forest conservation efforts.
