Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Malta recently participated in a tree-planting event at Selmun Family Park, Mellieħa.
Ahmadiyya president Laiq Ahmed Atif (left) planted an olive tree together with Rural Affairs Minister George Pullicino (right) to initiate the event.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community planted 33 olive trees, one of which is dedicated to women, in commemoration of Woman’s Day.
Mr Atif finds trees are an important component of the natural landscape because of their prevention of erosion and the provision of a weather-sheltered ecosystem in and under their foliage.
Trees play an important role, says Mr Atif, in producing oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as well as moderating ground temperatures.
"A tree is a gift for life, a gift for generations, a gift liked by all, a gift which has nothing harmful," says Mr. Atif.
"We can benefit greatly from a tree – from its leaves, fruit, shade and wood. Moreover it gives us oxygen, without which we cannot live."
