Project Details
| Name | Mangrove Plantation with Saudi National Bank SNB |
| Description | In a significant collaborative effort to enhance coastal ecosystems, the Vegetation Cover Development Foundation Morooj and the Saudi National Bank (SNB) embarked on an ambitious mangrove plantation project. The initiative aimed to restore and expand mangrove forests across key locations, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. In Jubail, the team successfully planted 100,000 mangrove seedlings within a span of just over a month, achieving the project’s goal with full completion. This effort marks a significant contribution to the local ecosystem, enhancing coastal resilience and biodiversity. |
