Lahore is not just growing. It is heating up.

This animation shows 15 years of nighttime land surface temperature data from Lahore, revealing how rising urbanization and the loss of green spaces are reshaping the city's climate.

As we mark World Environment Day, this serves as a reminder that trees, parks, farmland, and urban green spaces are not luxuries. They are among our strongest natural defences against extreme heat.

The devastating fire in Kotli Sattian, which has destroyed over 3,000 hectares of forest, is a call to action. Pakistan must invest urgently in fire management and restoration efforts. The OIC should demand accountability from those responsible. #Pakistan #Kashmir...

According to satellite data released by SUPARCO, the Kotli Sattian forest fire has destroyed more than 3,000 hectares of forest across 25 locations in Punjab.
Officials said the blaze, fueled by a recent heatwave and strong winds, has badly damaged Chir pine forests, affected local wildlife breeding areas, and destroyed young saplings.

Local communities and forest officials are continuing containment efforts as active fires threaten nearby slopes and risk further environmental damage.

Forest f!re inc!dents in Kotli Sattian have been brought under control following a joint operation by the Forest Department, Rescue 1122, Fire Brigade, Police, Para Force, and district administration.

According to the initial report, the blaze in the Guzara forest area was linked to human negligence, with reports suggesting it may have been triggered by an Eid barbecue party in the region.

The fire was further intensified by extreme heatwave conditions and dry weather, leading to the spread of flames across approximately 35 acres of forest land. Officials confirmed that coordinated efforts successfully extinguished the fire, while cooling operations and monitoring continue.
