Saudi Arabia has planted 2.4 million mangrove trees, advancing its sustainability efforts and boosting eco-tourism, as part of the Saudi Green Initiative.

Saudi Arabia has reached a major environmental milestone by planting 2.4 million mangrove trees along its coastlines, a milestone achieved through the Vegetation Cover Development Foundation (Morooj). This accomplishment was unveiled on the International Day of Forests, aligning with the Kingdom’s commitment to the Saudi Green Initiative (SGI) goals.

Expanding Sustainability Efforts

Morooj is also spearheading numerous other sustainability projects. These include the planting of an additional one million mangrove and land-based trees, greening 200 mosques through greywater reuse systems, and adding 400,000 mangroves in Makkah and the Eastern Province.

In addition, the organization is distributing 300 million seeds across five royal reserves and is leading an ambitious program to plant 10 million trees by 2027.

These extensive reforestation initiatives highlight Saudi Arabia’s ongoing dedication to safeguarding natural ecosystems and advancing environmental responsibility as part of its broader sustainability goals.
