Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) has been raising awareness of safe and eco-friendly camping practices through various social media channels during the winter camping season.

The ministry said in a post that eco-friendly winter camping isn’t just about packing out the trash, rather it’s also about reducing environmental impact in every possible way.

“From using biodegradable soaps to conserving water, responsible camping practices ensure you enjoy the winter wonderland while preserving it,” the ministry said in another post.

“Your actions today help ensure that outdoor spaces for winter camping remain pristine and accessible for everyone. Support the ministry in preserving winter camping locations for future generations,” the ministry said.

The ministry has advised the campers on the importance of conserving the environment while camping. It asked them to maintain distance to conserve the environment and safeguard natural resources, saying the campers should maintain specific distance between camps, manors, farms and villages.
