The MoU is one of several contracts and agreements that the NCVC has reached, and it is a part of its efforts to fight desertification, reduce sand encroachment, and protect natural resources in order to enhance living conditions and foster sustainable economic growth.
These programs also seek to better integrate and cooperate with public, corporate, and nonprofit entities, as well as to unite and coordinate national efforts to carry out vegetation rehabilitation projects.
The NCVC’s main priorities are the development, protection, and control of vegetation cover sites; the rehabilitation of damaged ones; the detection of encroachments on them; the fight against logging; the supervision of pasture management; the regulation of grazing; and the preservation and investment in forests and national parks. Through its several programs, it also backs international efforts to fight climate change and cut carbon emissions.
In collaboration with Aseer Development Authority and more than 12 government organizations, the NCVC launched an awareness campaign on July 28 under the theme of “sustainable parks” to raise public awareness of the need to preserve Saudi Arabia’s plant cover.
