The Role of Afforestation in Environment
The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture confirmed that afforestation is a natural and effective solution for reducing temperatures and improving air quality, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability and development in Saudi Arabia. Planting trees helps to cool the environment by providing shade, reducing heat absorption from surfaces, and through the process of transpiration, which aids in cooling the air. It also absorbs an average of 150 kilograms of carbon dioxide annually and offers numerous health benefits, including stress reduction and improved mental well-being, while supporting biodiversity and managing rainwater. The ministry called on society to choose native trees and adopt effective irrigation practices to increase the success of afforestation projects and achieve sustainable environmental benefits.
