Jonha is rich in flora and fauna and is known for its natural surroundings. However, increasing industrial activities in the region are putting pressure on its environment. With the aim of bringing greater awareness to these concerns, AAM organised Run for Environment in Jonha. Held on Vishwa Adivasi Diwas, the 5 km marathon brought together more than 300 local youth and participants. The initiative aimed to turn environmental awareness into participation and encourage young people to take greater responsibility for protecting their natural surroundings.
Along with the marathon, plants were distributed to all participants, and the programme included awareness speeches and cash prizes. These activities helped reinforce the message that environmental protection is not only a matter of discussion, but also of individual and collective participation.
The event was an effort to bring environmental concerns closer to the community and encourage young people to become active participants in protecting Jonha's natural environment.
