BANGKOK, May 25 (TNA) – Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha received seedlings of Takhian (Hopea odorata) plants from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment on the occasion of the National Tree Day. 

 

In an event to mark the National Tree Day, Sarawut Silpa-archa, minister of natural resources and environment, said the National Tree Day was set on the Visakha Puja Day to encourage general people and organizations to rehabilitate forests in the country in order to cushion the impacts of climate change and smog.
