[UNHCR in Bangladesh @UNHCR_BGD]

On #WorldEnvironmentDay2020 we celebrate interventions to protect & restore the natural environment in Cox's Bazar.

To reduce deforestation, the entire #Rohingya refugee population & + 35,000 local Bangladeshi families received LPG cooking gas, reducing cutting of wood by 80%

[UNHCR Sudan @UNHCRinSudan]

Refugees + locals in Sudan decided to stop deforestation. To get clean cooking energy.

UNHCR + 🇳🇴Norway helped set up this tree nursery: 1 MILLION new trees were planted. And counting.
