200 Trees Planting Challenge, hosted by Eco-Warriors Nyaung Shwe, was successfully completed on 16th November, 2024. A total of 112 participants from 11 villages in Nyaung Shwe township, Shan State from Myanmar joined the challenge at Shwe Lin Pan village near Inle Lake. Participants included registered Eco-warriors, parents and local individuals within the township. The event started at 7:30 am in the morning and ended at 1:00 PM, including travel, planting and eating lunches together.
The objectives were to promote environmental awareness of trees and green spaces in the neighbourhood, to foster climate resilience and prevent flash floods in nearby villages around Inle Lake and to build a community of Tree-Warriors through this activity. This activity is really important as the township and villages near Inle Lake experienced the biggest flooding in history for almost one month in October. The challenge aims to support the importance and expansion of trees and green spaces for preventing people from potential climate change and natural disasters.
Besides the challenge, participants participated in Photo and Content Challenges, with winners of photo challenge - Pyae Sone Kyaw and San Min Htet, and of content challenge, Sai Wai Tun and Yoon May.
