Acacia Rebirth: Imam Turki Bin Abdullah Royal Reserve Boosts Green Cover
The Imam Turki Bin Abdullah Royal Reserve is undertaking extensive restoration efforts, planting hundreds of thousands of trees, particularly Acacia, across its vast 91,500 sq km area. This initiative aligns with the Saudi Green Initiative, aiming to revitalize the reserve's vegetation and restore ecological balance.
Acacia trees are crucial to this effort due to their resilience in harsh desert climates and their significant ecological role. They provide grazing, shade, and habitat for wildlife while also helping to stabilize the soil and offering a vital nectar source for high-quality honey. These comprehensive afforestation projects are crucial in combating desertification and enhancing biodiversity, thereby reinforcing Saudi Arabia's commitment to environmental sustainability.
