Reviving Resilience: Al Bithnah

Join us in Al Bithnah to collectively address the environmental impact of recent extreme weather through restoration efforts and community building

ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY

Join us in Al Bithnah as we come together to address the significant impact left by recent extreme weather conditions. The aftermath of severe weather has visibly altered our environment, leaving scars on established sites and disrupting the delicate balance of the habitat.

In response, our focus in this activity will be on: 

  • Constructing a gabion wall along the falaj water system to shield it from floods and extreme weather conditions, ensuring its resilience and longevity.
  • Rehabilitating the local community farm affected by flooding, followed by land leveling to restore agricultural activities.
  • Clearing Al Bithnah of debris and waste to restore its natural beauty and functionality post-extreme weather events.
  • Prepare and dig new pits for Shua trees in multiple areas and repairing the piped irrigation system to support vegetation growth.
  • Initiating the revival of Shua trees, renowned for their resilience in challenging desert conditions, to enhance ecosystem stability
  • Ensuring adequate irrigation water availability for newly planted saplings to promote their healthy growth.

This endeavor presents a unique opportunity for individuals to actively participate in the restoration of our local environment and the cultivation of resilient communities. Together, let us roll up our sleeves, unite our efforts, and make a lasting positive impact as we navigate through the aftermath of recent extreme weather challenges. Join us in Al Bithnah, and together, let's sow the seeds of renewal and resilience for a brighter future ahead.

A wonderful experience to be in Nature and carry out the activities as a volunteer. Apart from carrying out the restoring activities for the Nature Trail, Emirates Nature - WWF Representatives also explained the History of the Al Bitnah Fort and Al Bitnah Village, shared information / knowledge related to plants/shrubs/trees and habitat in the surrounding areas. Also got the opportunity to make observation for plants/insects in the surrounding areas using the iNaturalist App. Thank you Emirates Nature - WWF and all the participating volunteers.

It was an excellent event. If it could be started early and the weather is getting warmer, staying up till 10 am is difficult.

Amazing experience.
