Al Bithnah: Native Tree Reforestation

ABOUT THE EVENT

Join us in reforesting the Hajar Mountains by planting native trees such as Samar, Sidr, Ghaf and Arabian Moringa. These trees help restore degraded ecosystems, support a wide variety of plants and animals, and make the mountains more resilient against the impacts of climate change.

By taking part in this activity, you contribute towards rebuilding habitats for rare and endangered species, and safeguarding the precious freshwater resources of the region.

What will participants learn or gain from the activity?  

1. Contribute to reforestation efforts in Ain Al Ghamour by planting native trees.
2. Learn about the specific techniques and method used to enhance the success rate of reforestation.

WHICH AREA OF IMPACT DOES IT CONTRIBUTE TO?

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

• Restore biodiversity by reintroducing drought-tolerant native trees (Samar, Sidr, Ghaf) which can survive in dry conditions.
• Capture carbon from the atmosphere and support the mitigation of climate change.
• Support local livelihoods through honey production from Samar and Sidr trees.
• Protect vulnerable species and increase vegetation cover, unlocking long-term benefits for both ecosystems and the local economy.
