This will provide a safe and secure facility for female police officers to screen female visitors in a culturally respectful manner, said Davis. Similar guard posts will be built at the Jahan Malika Girls High School and the Provincial Council compound. In the past, Afghanistan was covered with dense forests and groves, which today are virtually non-existent. Over the years in Ghazni Province, Afghans used wood for fuel and building material which depleted the resources. Parks like Arbaba will improving the forests and greenery of Ghazni Province “All Ghazni people can use this park. But they have to care about everything here,” said Nawab. “The Director of the EPA, Engineer Nawab, has done an excellent job in overseeing this project,” said U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Laura G. Childs, project manager for Ghazni Texas ADT IV of TF White Eagle. “He is passionate about the environment and sees a great need in Afghanistan to teach the local Afghan population how to protect their land. In a country that has faced years of war and turmoil, the environment has not been a primary concern. Arbaba Park will offer Engineer Nawab an excellent location to improve awareness of the importance of protecting the environment.”
