Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Launches the “Fencing and Rehabilitation of Rawdat Al- Wasta” Initiative in Partnership with Qatar Insurance

As part of its ongoing efforts to protect Qatar’s terrestrial ecosystems and preserve its natural resources, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC), represented by the Department of Wildlife Development, launched today the “Fencing and Rehabilitation of Rawdat Al-Wasta” initiative in collaboration with Qatar Insurance, with the participation of representatives from government entities, volunteers, and environmental specialists.

The initiative aims to protect Qatar’s natural rawdat (grasslands) from encroachment and overgrazing, and to promote the sustainable use of these habitats in a way that maintains balance between environmental preservation and community activities. It also seeks to restore native vegetation through the replanting of indigenous plant species that are well adapted to Qatar’s dry and semi-arid conditions.

The event featured the planting of 300 native seedlings of various local species, including Prosopis cineraria (Qatari Ghaf), Acacia tortilis (Samr), Ziziphus spinachristi (Sidr), and Acacia ehrenbergiana (Salam). These species play a vital role in stabilizing soil, enhancing biodiversity, and combating desertification in Qatar’s desert ecosystems.

Seedlings and native seeds were also distributed to participants and volunteers to encourage community engagement in replanting efforts and inspire individuals to replicate the experience in their local areas and farms.

As part of the event, attendees joined a guided field tour of Rawdat Al-Wasta, where specialists from the Department of Wildlife Development provided insights into the ecological importance of rawdat areas in Qatar. The tour highlighted their role in soil preservation, reducing desertification, improving air quality, and maintaining local seed reserves. Participants were also introduced to previous MECC projects focused on fencing and rehabilitating rawdat as part of the National Program for Combating Desertification.

Sustainability and Follow Up Plan

The Department of Wildlife Development announced that the initiative will be followed by a monitoring and maintenance plan, which includes tracking seedling growth, conducting supplemental irrigation, and managing invasive species. The plan will also involve awareness programs for schools, universities and local communities to foster a culture of environmental stewardship and highlight the importance of rawdat as natural and cultural heritage sites.

The Department further explained that fencing the rawdat is a key stage within the national program for restoring terrestrial habitats, as it allows native plants to regenerate naturally without human pressures, helping to expand green cover, enhance soil stability and mitigate desertification.

At the conclusion of the event, participants, volunteers, and supporting organizations were honored for their valuable contributions to the success of the initiative. The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to continued collaboration with private sector partners under its Sustainable Environmental Development Initiatives, which aim to achieve a lasting balance between economic growth and environmental protection, in line with the objectives of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
