Bahrain’s green drive moved a step further with the launch of a new afforestation project at Diyar Al Muharraq.
Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Minister Wael Al Mubarak gave the go-ahead to the project, as part of the national strategy to double trees by 2035 and in line with Bahrain’s commitments to carbon neutrality by 2060.
Present were Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Under-Secretary Shaikh Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, assistant under-secretary for joint municipal services Shawkiya Humaidan and other officials.
The minister stressed plans to increase afforestation and motivate all parties and individuals to take part in the green drive within government projects, in co-operation with the private sector.
“Large evergreen trees have been selected to be planted due to their suitability to Bahrain’s climatic conditions and their low water consumption,” he said.
