The data you help collect will support the expansion of our conservation efforts, and will be used to:

• Increased biodiversity through the reintroduction of native tree species.
• Enhanced carbon capture, contributing to climate mitigation efforts.
• Support for honey production, particularly Samar and Sidr honeys, which are highly valued locally and internationally.
• Boost in fodder production for local villagers, providing economic benefits.
• Restoration and beautification of the landscape, enhancing the natural environment.
• Protection and promotion of vulnerable native species like Samar, Sidr, and Ghaf, crucial for the mountain ecosystem.
• Increased vegetation cover, improving both environmental and economic outcomes.
• Reforestation of drought-tolerant, native species suited to mountainous areas, ensuring long-term sustainability.
