NOUNA—The provincial coordination of citizen monitoring associations in Kossi took a significant step towards environmental conservation by planting 20 seedlings, including mango, baobab, morenga, and cashew trees, at the Nouna town hall on Monday.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the planting event was attended by Harouna Zerbo, the secretary general of the Nouna town hall, and was supervised by Assimou Toé.
