EARLY last month, some 500 mangrove trees were planted at Mangrove Forest Education Centre in Sungai Acheh, Penang, during the launch of the Environmentally Concerned Youth Initiative.

The event, which was launched by Deputy Environment and Water Minister Datuk Mansor Othman, was organised by Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) and Kelab Belia Prihatin Malaysia.
