Forest preservation and employment generation Forests constitute some of the most complex natural ecosystems in the world. The environment may be analysed by a number of factors, such as soil, moisture, wind, temperature, etc. The psycho physiological influence of trees in the form of purified air, clean water, rest and recreation, scenic enjoyment, reduced noise level, and spiritual replenishment is being fully appreciated. The major part of a healthy environment is the forest. Traditionally, we, the inhabitants of Chitral and Gilgit depend on the woods of Diyar and Russian willows. By using non forest and eco-products in the construction of buildings, especially in ceilings, we have saved at least 5000 trees of wood and Russian willow. This is our major contribution to the environment in northern Pakistan. It has also come to our attention that using insulation in houses, shops, and offices results in a considerable decrease in the usage of firewood. Due to the use of eco-friendly materials, deforestation in Chitral and Gilgit has come down considerably. We are working to protect forests to the best of our limited resources. We believe that it is also our responsibility to be agents of social change through job creation. Our HR department is a vibrant organ of our company; we hire interns on an annual basis purely on merit. To date, we have trained more than fifty interns, employees, and technical workers. Many people were unemployed in different parts of Chitral and due to unemployment, they used to go to the forests and fetch firewood for their homes. By creating employment, the conservation of forests and wildlife has been greatly preserved. In our HR policy, we prefer to employ people from the area where they bring firewood from the forests or go hunting there in times of unemployment. This will help improve the environmental challenges in Pakistan.
