Sana'a launches major Sidr tree planting initiative
[15/ April/2025]
Sana'a - Saba:

A meeting in Sana'a province, chaired by Governor Abdulbasit al-Hadi, discussed on Tuesday the agricultural sector's plan for seedling production and efforts to ensure the success of this year's afforestation campaign.

The meeting, which included province undersecretary for the Services Sector Faris al-Kahali, discussed the procedures for starting the planting of 100,000 Sidr seedlings this season. This is part of the province's plan to expand the cultivation of economically productive forest trees, which are primarily used as pastures for bees and other uses.

The meeting approved the distribution of seedlings to the province's sectors and tasked the cooperative societies in the districts with planting them in suitable areas in valleys and streams and preserving them.

During the meeting, al-Hadi emphasized the importance of expanding the planting of various types of seedlings, which will contribute to increasing vegetation cover and expanding grazing areas for various animals.

He called for preserving pastures and refraining from excessive logging and random tree cutting.
