"Buthoor Al Bahrain" Campaign Distributes Over 8,000 Trees Since Launch in October

The Undersecretary highlighted that the campaign, in collaboration with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, has received significant participation. Its primary aim is to involve communities in the greening process. Throughout the campaign, the "Buthoor Al Bahrain" mobile truck, also known as the campaign's ambassador, has visited more than 40 locations across Bahrain, distributing trees and raising awareness about the importance of urban greenery. One of the campaign's key priorities is fostering direct interaction with local communities, helping to build a sustainable urban future for Bahrain.

"The distribution activities promote awareness about the benefits of green spaces in urban areas, aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 11, which focuses on sustainable cities and communities," said Shaikh Mohammed. The tree distribution has reached various locations, including all municipalities across the Kingdom—Manama, Southern, Northern, and Muharraq. The campaign has extended its outreach to schools, private companies, government institutions, community organizations, parks, diplomatic bodies, and major local events.

The current stop for the "Buthoor Al Bahrain" campaign will be the seventh edition of Mara'ee 2024, taking place from November 27 to December 1, 2024.

Dr. Fernanda Lonardoni, Head of the UN-Habitat Program in Bahrain, praised the initiative, saying, "The campaign is a testament to Bahrain's proactive approach to environmental conservation, encouraging communities to participate in greening efforts and raising awareness about its importance. It’s a vital step towards a greener urban future for Bahrain. By working closely with our partners and communities, we are building a sustainable future for the Kingdom."

The "Buthoor Al Bahrain" campaign continues to invite individuals, organizations, and stakeholders to join forces in expanding this green initiative and contributing to Bahrain's sustainable urban future.
