New Delhi: Tibetan leader in exile, Dalai Lama here on Wednesday said that everybody including leaders should pay more attention towards the environment and emphasize on planting trees and saving water bodies.

He was speaking to media persons at the “Special Sarvadharma Sangam” programme flanked by Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev.

Everybody including leaders should pay more attention to the environment. According to some experts, within the next seven to eight decades, global warming may become more serious so we need to take care,” said Dalai Lama.

“We as individuals must be concerned about the environment. We should plant trees as the cutting of the trees is a serious problem. We should also pay attention to water bodies unless we do it water bodies in India may become dry. Because of global warming Glacier snow in Tibet is depleting and there is a threat to rivers like Brahmaputra and Ganga,” he said.

He said that religious harmony is the living tradition of India.

“Over 2000 years religious harmony is the living tradition in this country,” said Lama.
