Qatar's mangroves cover 14 sq km
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change in Qatar organized activities to celebrate Land Degradation Neutrality Day, highlighting its efforts to protect the mangrove forests that span approximately 14 square kilometers, including more than 7 kilometers within the Dhakira Reserve. The ministry confirmed that safeguarding the mangrove forests involves expanding their area sustainably through an integrated management approach of their distribution zones, guided by environmental studies and coordination with relevant authorities. The goal is to support biodiversity and combat climate change. The forests play a critical role in protecting coastlines, reducing erosion, enhancing marine habitats, and promoting eco-tourism. Furthermore, studies indicate that one hectare of mangrove forest stores around 3,754 tons of carbon dioxide, making them vital elements in efforts to combat global warming. The ministry called on everyone to preserve these forests and avoid pollution or damage to the trees to ensure their sustainability for future generations.
