RIYADH: An initiative to plant 10,000 arta trees in the Al-Dahna sands has been launched by the King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority, in partnership with the Green Dahna Association.

The project involves 300 volunteers from government agencies and educational institutions with the aim of rehabilitating local ecosystems and promoting environmental stewardship.

Chosen for its high adaptability to harsh desert climates and its effectiveness in soil stabilization, the arta tree is a strategic investment in biodiversity and desertification control.

Authority CEO Maher Al-Gothmi said the collaboration exemplified the institutional integration required to meet Saudi Green Initiative and Vision 2030 goals.

It also ensures the sustainability of natural resources for future generations through research and community engagement.
