During a press conference, Director General of General Directorate of Endowments Dr. Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed Al Thani expressed his support for the programme, emphasizing the importance of maintaining local flora and the vital role it plays in preserving Qatar’s environment. He also stressed the aesthetic value of greenery to human life and highlighted the need to increase awareness among generations of the importance of vegetation cover in preserving the environment.
