Sponsored by Maldives Airports Company Limited - A tribute to the Maldives Environment

Ministry of Environment, Energy and Water

Beautiful Trees, flowers and it's fruits:

Doubtless, one of the most important aspects of protecting the environment and ecology is the conservation of the trees, forests, woodland, countryside, and all the living creatures whose habitats are such areas. We see that the religion of Islam puts forward important principles for these too. These noteworthy principles related to the conservation of such areas may be classed as moral and legal. There is a great importance to planting trees, protecting existent ones, planting forests, as well as to conserving existent ones.

Male’ International Airport will carry out a tree planting program on the World Environment Day.

TREES

By Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall
never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry
mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at
God all day
And lifts her leafy
arms to pray;
A tree that may in
summer wear
A nest of robins
in her hair;
Upon whose bosom
snow has lain;
Who intimately
lives with rain.
Poems are made by
fools like me,
but only God can
make a tree.
