Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) has fenced and rehabilitated 38 meadows in a number of areas in the country, as part of the Qatari Desert Rehabilitation Project, which aims to protect the vegetation cover and combat desertification.

The Qatari Desert Rehabilitation Project, supervised by the Wildlife Development Department, includes the rehabilitation and fencing of 150 meadows over the next five years, the MoECC stated on its post on X. This effort is to ensure the continuity of wildlife as a natural haven for rare species of wild plants.

Mohammed Ahmed Al Khanji, Director of the Wildlife Development Department, emphasized that the project focuses on preserving areas of both environmental and social significance, particularly those that have shown substantial growth in wild vegetation.
