Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Bin Muqrin Visits NCVC To Discuss Environmental Initiatives For Hail Region

Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Muqrin bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Governor of Hail Province, recently visited the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development & Combating Desertification (NCVC) in Riyadh. He was welcomed by Dr. Khaled Al-Abdulkader, the Chief Executive, along with other leaders of the NCVC. The visit included a comprehensive overview of the center's departments, activities, and future plans for the Hail region.

During his visit, Prince Faisal emphasised the commitment of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to environmental conservation. He highlighted their dedication to sustainable solutions that align with Saudi Vision 2030. This vision aims to improve quality of life and promote a healthy environment across the Kingdom.

The NCVC has been actively working on several projects in Hail. These include dispersing seeds for native plants and trees, regulating grazing in natural rangelands, and restoring ecological balance in valleys. Additionally, efforts are being made to enhance national parks in the region.

Dr. Al-Abdulkader expressed gratitude for Prince Faisal’s visit and support for the NCVC’s mission in Hail. He noted the significance of Prince Faisal's involvement in advancing efforts to achieve the goals of the Saudi Green Initiative. This initiative is crucial for promoting sustainable development and environmental preservation.

The NCVC is also working on submitting Salma Geopark to be part of UNESCO’s Global Geopark Network. This inclusion would potentially boost ecotourism in Hail, attracting more visitors interested in natural landscapes and conservation efforts.

Investment Initiatives Underway

Investment initiatives are already being implemented in national parks within the region. These initiatives aim to enhance infrastructure and facilities, making them more accessible and appealing to tourists while preserving their natural beauty.

Prince Faisal praised the NCVC's efforts in rehabilitating degraded vegetation areas and combating desertification. He acknowledged their work in restoring biodiversity within natural ecosystems as vital for environmental sustainability.

The visit underscored ongoing efforts to align with Saudi Vision 2030 by fostering a positive environment through strategic initiatives aimed at environmental conservation and sustainable development.
