1/3 Forewarned is forarmed. @EhsanLeghari4 's detailed plan to deal with the impending must be read in conjunction with the list of vulnerable points shared by @jamkhanshoro, the Irrigation minister and measures taken to move people out of katcha areas.


1/2 Alternate camp sites must be set up ASAP even if UNOCHA does not kick in, preliminary DCC meetings must take place to pool in capacities of official and civil society organisations and their supporting role in rescue, relief and rehabilitation stages

Dr. @gilanius thank you for your seller work by bringing the #Balochistan #mangroves within mapping. Their declaration as #ProtectedForests is also an acknowledgement of the miracle that late #BabaeMangroves Tahir Qureshi wrought in places where they never existed. It would now be in the fitness of things if #mianiHor & Shadikaur in Gwadar should be dedicated to him. How about it @BalochistanFor1 If not now then when! Isn't it great to see this @rahimgwd @RafiulH87658231 finally? Something to toot the horn about! @sherryrehman @aminattock

Hallelujah! Local NGOs allowed to help flood-hit families! After decimating the development sector & civil society organizations through a witch hunt, reregistration, EAD quagmire, suddenly when faced with the calamity they realize their importance! dawn.com/news/1704798 These organizations lost their donor connections, donors turned away from Pakistan, rather than jump through the bureaucratic hoops, & now the organizations with the human resource, capacity, experience of working in such disasters have no resources. Are now working in isolation

True to form as a late lateef, as there are still few mins to go before #WorldOceansDay ends on this earth let me share my pet peeves by replugging old unresolved but doable issues! Bear with me @sherryrehman @hnaqikhan @HqPmsa @IndusEarthTrust @dgprPaknavy @aminattock @dpr_gob #Pakistan is signatory of #CBD. #Aichi targets mandate declaring 10% of coast as #MarineProtectedArea. Under @mangrovesforfuture a #NationalCoordinatingBody of stakeholders was formed & finally in 2017 #Astola isl. was decl. as the 1st. #MPA

Thank you @UNFPAPakistan for the honour of asking me to moderate the #WDD @SindhGovt1 seminar on the occasion of #IWD2022 titled
'Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow' @SyedaShehlaRaza @bayramgul_unfpa It allowed me to point out some important work at policy level to mainstream #Gender issues, like #ccGap document by #IUCN Pakistan & @MoCC with @theGCF readiness support to work in tandem with National #ClimateChangePolicy by highlighting interventions in 6 priority sectors

Here is the #TruthAboutMonal for all the bleeding hearts being taken in by sob stories & running trends here is a series of facts of why we will be well rid of it: #TruthAboutMonal lease was for FIFTEEN (15) NOT THIRTY years.. documents available for viewing

Other than everything else wrong with this ad. Why is there an assumption that only HE can do the job? Why are ads only for Men? Especially those whose experience of Marine ecology is zilch! This is a deliberately confrontational route being taken through #PIDA. #SaveOurIslands Why are #PresidentialOrdinances being issued. Why are there Assemblies. What is the urgency in 'developing' these islands, bulldozing the wishes of the inhabitants. Why is the @SindhGovt1 not responding to concerns, reservations & protests of civil society. #SaveOurIslands

Woke up to news of devastation across #Sindh. Ya Allah rehem. People will need long term assistance ...especially those in areas where rain water is not likely to recede from for months ! #Karachi #Gharo #MirpurSakro #Kohistan #Nagarparkar posting visuals I have received. Help! Here is what is happening #inKohistan. People outside will be cut off from their homes and those at home from supplies from outside... Danger of house collapse as it is still raining heavily there... Sent by @IndusEarthTrust
