About The Nature Club, BAU, Sabour

Unsustainable use of natural resource and associated environmental impacts affect basic ecosystem services as provision of food, water and nutrient cycle. Therefore, it becomes necessary for everyone to take care of our surrounding so that people today as well as future generations do not face any environmental crisis. Environmental or nature clubs play a vital role to build a green and resilient economy by enhancing awareness and understanding of schools, colleges, universities or community about environmental, climate change, and sustainable consumption and production issues.

Taking this into consideration, the Nature Club, BAU, Sabour was established on 5th June, 2023, on the occasion of World Environment Day, during the Inaugural function of the One Week Workshop on Environmental Protection and Awareness. This Nature Club will pave way for others to show how small steps in favour of environment at university level may bring great changes at the higher level. The established Nature Club will prove like a role model for other institution and societies to come together and take bigger steps for eradication of the ill effects of natural disasters, pollution, climate change, communicable diseases and positive steps towards environmental and biodiversity conservation.
