Two Million Trees Decorate Iraq in Largest National Afforestation Campaign

A massive national afforestation campaign was launched across the country under the slogan "Green Iraq," targeting the planting of two million diverse trees in a serious attempt to combat desertification and improve the climate. The campaign includes planting drought-resistant trees such as olive, sidr, and pine in the most environmentally damaged areas. The Minister of Environment affirmed that the project is not merely a seasonal event, but a long-term program extending over five years and includes monitoring teams to ensure its success. The Minister called on citizens to actively participate by planting trees in their neighborhoods and residential areas, stressing that every tree planted represents new hope for a greener and safer future for coming generations. Specialists see this initiative as contributing to reducing temperatures in cities.
