(MENAFN) According to the CEO of the organization, an international conservation organization aims to assist Saudi Arabia in reaching its target of planting 450 million trees by 2030 to reduce carbon emissions. Suwant to Gauntlett from Wildlife Alliance also claimed that she wanted her group to be in Saudi Arabia training young Saudis to help achieve the goal.

Gauntlett declared at the Saudi Green Initiative, which is taking place concurrently with the United Nation Climate Change Conference: “We are a non-governmental organization, nonprofit. Our mission is to conduct afforestation, where the forest has been denuded and to protect the forests that still exist.”

By 2030, SGI hopes to plant 450 million trees and restore eight million hectares of deteriorated land, reducing annual carbon emissions by about 200 million tons.

Gauntlett also mentioned that “our wish is to be selected to help them with the implementation and to accelerate (it) because there’s not much time left until 2030.”
