World Environment day :UN says there’s still time to reverse the damage  done to the Ecosystem.

In his message for marking the World Environment day, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that there is still time to reverse the damage to ” ravaged ” ecosystem.

The UN chief said  the planet was rapidly reaching a “point of no return”, cutting down forests, polluting rivers and oceans, and ploughing grasslands “into oblivion”.

We are ravaging the very ecosystems that underpin our societies”, the UN chief warned in his message for the Day, being marked on Saturday.

The UN chief described the decade of restoration as “a global call to action” that will draw together “political support, scientific research and financial muscle to massively scale up restoration”.

Meanwhile, UN independent human rights experts have called on the UN to formally recognize that living in a safe, healthy and sustainable environment is “indeed a human right”.
