# ecol: the revegetation of Heroshah (Pakistan)

<< In 2015 and 2016 some 16,000 labourers planted more than 900,000 fast-growing eucalyptus trees at regular, geometric intervals in Heroshah- and the titanic task is just a fraction of the effort across the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. >>

<< Heroshah and Swat plantations are part of the "Billion Tree Tsunami", a provincial government programme that has seen a total of 300 million trees of 42 different species planted across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. >>

<< A further 150 million plants were given to landowners, while strict forest regeneration measures have allowed the regrowth of 730 million trees-roughly 1.2 billion new trees in total, the programme's management says. >>
