Save Earth Mission Launches Thailand's Largest Community-Led Plantation Drive from the Heart of Pattaya
100,000 Trees to Be Planted Across Thailand in 12 Months, Backed by Local Vendors, Volunteers, and Environmental Advocates
PATTAYA, THAILAND - In a groundbreaking step toward restoring ecological balance and combatting climate change, Save Earth Mission Thailand kicked off a historic plantation drive in Pattaya on July 15, marking the beginning of a year-long movement to plant over 100,000 trees across the country.
The plantation drive brought together a powerful coalition of local plant vendors, environmental volunteers, social media influencers, and climate-conscious citizens, all united under Save Earth Mission's core philosophy: grassroots action for global impact.
This initiative aligns with Save Earth Mission's overarching goal of planting 30 billion trees by 2040, and serves as the first major step in Thailand ahead of the upcoming 60+ country global plantation campaign, set to begin in August 2025.
'This was more than a plantation drive—it was a movement. Pattaya's community has stepped up not only to plant trees but to plant the future,' said a spokesperson for Save Earth Mission Thailand.
The launch date held emotional and symbolic importance, as it coincided with the birthday of Mr. Sandeep Choudhary, President of Save Earth Mission's India Chapter and a global sector leader. Instead of personal celebrations, Mr. Choudhary made a heartfelt request to all chapters:
'If you want to wish me, plant a tree in your mother's name. Let us lead the planet into a greener tomorrow—one tree, one mother, one nation at a time.'
Responding to his call, the Thailand chapter immediately planted 100 trees in honor of mothers and pledged to scale up efforts with a full-fledged national drive, targeting 100,000 trees over the next 12 months through collaborative partnerships and sustained local engagement.
This year-long initiative will include:
With Pattaya setting the tone, communities across Thailand are now gearing up to join this national green revolution—making it one of Southeast Asia's most ambitious, community-powered environmental campaigns.

Sri Lankan court orders owners of container ship to pay US$1 billion in marine pollution compensation
A stray dog stands amid the waves as decomposed remains of a turtle lies on a polluted beach following the sinking of a container ship, the X-Press Pearl, a Singapore-flagged ship, that caught fire while transporting chemicals off Kapungoda, outskirts of Colombo, Sri Lanka, June 21, 2021. (AP Photo/Eranga Jayawardena, File) COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka's top court on Thursday ordered the owners of a Singapore-flagged container ship that sank near its capital to pay US$1 billion in compensation to the island nation's government for causing the most severe marine environment catastrophe in the country's history. The container ship MV X-Press Peal, which was carrying chemicals, sank off Colombo in June, 2021 after catching fire. The Supreme Court said the incident caused 'unprecedented devastation to the marine environment of Sri Lanka' and harmed the country's economy, especially the lives of the fishing communities. Judges said the disaster led to the death of 417 turtles, 48 dolphins, eight whales and a large number of fish species that washed ashore after the incident. Debris from the ship, including several tons of plastic pellets used to make plastic bags, caused severe pollution on beaches. 'This marine environmental disaster constitutes the largest recorded marine plastic spill in the world,' the judgement said. 'It resulted in the widespread release of toxic and hazardous substances into the marine environment, poisoning ocean waters, killing marine species, and destructing phytoplankton.' Due to the severe marine pollution, the government imposed a fishing ban for well over a year, depriving fishermen of their income and livelihood. The incident 'continues to cause destruction and harm to Sri Lanka's marine environment,' said the judgement, signed by five supreme court judges. The judgement was given against the X-Press Pearl group that included ship's registered owner, EOS Ro Pte. Limited, and other charterers. All are based in Singapore. An agent in Sri Lanka, Sea Consortium Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd., was also named. The court said it has sufficient reasons to hold that X-Press Pearl group 'should be held accountable and liable under the Polluter Pays Principle for the pollution caused by the MV X-Press Pearl vessel.' It said the owner, operators and local agent of the ship were all liable for the payment of compensation, which should be used to restore and protect the affected marine and coastal environment. There was no immediate comment on the judgement from the owner or agent of the vessel. The court ruling came after several parties, including environment campaigners and fisher rights groups, filed litigation seeking compensation. Bharatha Mallawarachi, The Associated Press

Teacher dies saving students from inferno in Bangladesh jet crash

(AP Photo/Mahmud Hossain Opu) DHAKA -- When a Bangladesh Air Force fighter jet crashed into her school and erupted in a fireball on Monday, Maherin Chowdhury rushed to save some of the hundreds of students and teachers facing mortal danger, placing their safety before her own. The 46-year-old English teacher went back again and again into a burning classroom to rescue her students, even as her own clothes were engulfed in flames, her brother, Munaf Mojib Chowdhury, told Reuters by telephone. Maherin died on Monday after suffering near total burns on her body. She is survived by her husband and two teenaged sons. 'When her husband called her, pleading with her to leave the scene and think of her children, she refused, saying 'they are also my children, they are burning. How can I leave them?'' Chowdhury said. At least 29 people, most of them children, were killed when the F-7 BGI crashed into the school, trapping them in fire and debris. The military said the aircraft had suffered mechanical failure. 'I don't know exactly how many she saved, but it may have been at least 20. She pulled them out with her own hands,' he said, adding that he found out about his sister's act of bravery when he visited the hospital and met students she had rescued. The jet had taken off from a nearby air base on a routine training mission, the military said. After experiencing mechanical failure the pilot tried to divert the aircraft away from populated areas, but it crashed into the campus. The pilot was among those killed. 'When the plane crashed and fire broke out, everyone was running to save their lives, she ran to save others,' Khadija Akter, the headmistress of the school's primary section, told Reuters on phone about Maherin. She was buried on Tuesday in her home district of Nilphamari, in northern Bangladesh. Reporting by Ruma Paul in Dhaka, Writing by Shilpa Jamkhandikar, Editing by William Maclean, Reuters
