Activist Uses Native Seed Balls to Aid Margalla Hills Regeneration

An environmental awareness activist known as "Awareness Man," identified as Mansoor Sherwani, is using seed balls made from native plant species in an effort to encourage natural regeneration in bare patches of the Margalla Hills, according to a report by the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).

According to APP, the seed balls contain locally native plant species and are intended to support grassroots-level ecological restoration in areas of the hills that have lost vegetation cover.

The report did not provide further details on the specific methods used to prepare or distribute the seed balls, the scale of the initiative, or a timeline for the regeneration effort.

APP described the initiative as part of ongoing awareness efforts related to the environmental condition of the Margalla Hills, a range located near Islamabad.
