College for Girls, Sec 42, Chandigarh organized a National Webinar on "The Relationship between Environment and Wildlife" on October 7, 2020 to celebrate National Wildlife Week 2020. Dr. Harjit Singh Dhillon, founder member of Chandigarh tree lover's society and a horticulturalist with more than 35 years of experience in the field was the keynote speaker. He emphasised on the importance of trees, which even Vedas mention, in reducing environmental pollution and noise pollution. He especially mentioned that global warming has a direct impact on aquatic life and it will make the Arctic ice free soon which will result in destruction of habitats of many species like polar bears, whales, seals and sea birds. He shared rare pictures of heritage trees and suggested developing these sites as sanctuaries. Principal Prof. Nisha Aggarwal said that Biodiversity is vital to ecological balance and all plants and animals play an important role in the ecosystem. They sustain life by providing us with clean air, clean water and all other natural resources required for sustenance.

Dr. Ranjna Sharma, convenor Environment society welcomed all the guests and participants and said that we have forgotten how to be good guests, how to walk lightly on the earth as other creatures do.
