Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Minister Wael bin Nasser Al Mubarak and Oil and Environment Minister, Climate Affairs Special Envoy (SCE), Dr Mohammed bin Mubarak Bin Daina, opened new mangrove nurseries in Tubli affiliated with Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry.

Al Mubarak affirmed the continuation of work to achieve national goals related to afforestation and mangrove cultivation. He explained that the ministry is continuing to implement government directions in the field of afforestation to enhance efforts to increase green spaces and mangrove trees to reduce the effects of climate change and to contribute to achieving the goals of Bahrain to reach zero neutrality by 2060.
