KABUL Protection Authority (EPA) says 70 percent of recreational and agricultural areas have been converted into residential buildings and commercial plazas in major cities of the country.
As a result, oxygen sources would be dangerously depleted in the next four years if the situation persisted, EPA deputy head Ghulam Mohammad Malakyar warned at a ceremony marking Earth Day.
There would be no recreational spaces or oxygen sources if green areas’ conversion into buildings and land-grab continued, he said, calling the present environmental changes a grave . . .
