QBG Distributes 5,000 Native Trees To Promote Sustainability
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) As part of ongoing efforts to enhance Qatar's vegetation cover and preserve native plant species, the Qur'anic Botanic Garden (QBG), a member of Hamad Bin Khalifa University, has distributed 5,000 native trees and wild plants over the past two months.
The distributed species included sidr, samar, ghaf, qarat, awsaj, neem, and frankincense trees, which are propagated in QBG's nurseries using advanced scientific techniques. The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change was one of the main beneficiaries of the programme, as collaboration between the two entities continues to flourish in restoring Qatar's rangelands and supporting national afforestation programmes. Additionally, Mazzraty Company received several trees to plant in production areas to strengthen biodiversity. Schools, municipalities, and national institutions also benefited from the project.
This initiative is part of QBG's broader campaign to plant and distribute 2.5mn trees over the current decade, in collaboration with Qatar Red Crescent Society. It also reflects the state's commitment to planting 10mn trees, translating this pledge into tangible action in support of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and efforts to combat climate change and protect the environment.
Fatima Saleh M al-Khulaifi, director, QBG, said:“Protecting the environment is not only an institutional responsibility, but also a commitment individuals and communities must uphold. The distribution of these trees is a practical call to action for everyone to take part in reviving Qatar's natural landscapes and preserving its environmental heritage for future generations.”
“Through its nurseries and scientific and community-based programmes, the QBG continues to expand the propagation of wild and domesticated plants in Qatar to ensure the sustainability of the local vegetation cover and provide a constant source of trees and plants for greening and rehabilitation projects.”
“Meanwhile, QBG remains steadfast in its mission to expand Qatar's green cover and raise environmental awareness, guided by Qur'anic values,” she added Hamad Bin Khalifa University wild plants native trees
