Princess Basma Bint Ali reviews desert restoration project
Her Royal Highness Princess Basma bint Ali, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the Hashemite Fund for the Development of the Badia, visited the project for restoring rangelands and preserving local plant seeds in the areas of As Safawi and Al Azraq. This project is implemented by the Royal Botanical Garden and is funded by the Ministry of Environment. The aim of the project is to rehabilitate the rangelands and protect endangered plant species in the Jordanian Badia. During the first phase, approximately 120,000 seedlings belonging to 15 shrub species were planted across 10 sites in the northern, central, and southern Badia. The garden works to maintain plant diversity and achieve the sustainability of pastoral plants by creating suitable conditions for their propagation. Preparations are underway for the second phase, which involves planting half a million new plants to enhance vegetation cover and diversify seed stocks. The project seeks to support livestock industry, protect habitats, and transfer knowledge to local communities. It also includes the conservation and processing of over 100 plant species, documentation of around 200 species, and conducting genetic and biological analyses of samples.
