Abu Dhabi Environment allocates 10 million seeds to boost ecosystems
The Environment Agency Abu Dhabi has announced a plan to disperse over 10 million native plant seeds via aerial sowing during 2026 and 2027. The goal is to restore vegetation cover in the emirate and facilitate the rehabilitation of natural habitats in desert areas and protected zones. The initiative relies on advanced technologies such as aerial seeding, artificial intelligence, and remote sensing to increase the efficiency of ecosystem restoration, reduce human intervention, and enhance environmental resilience against climate change and desertification. The selected seeds include native species such as Acacia (Ghaf), Simmondsia (Sammar), and Arthrocnemum (Arti). The sites are chosen based on comprehensive environmental assessments to ensure the success of the operation. Monitoring will be carried out through integrated sensor data within continuous surveillance processes to guarantee the sustainability of improvements. The project aims to stabilize the soil, reduce desertification and sandstorms, improve air quality, and bolster biodiversity in the targeted areas.
