ABU DHABI, 8th May, 2023 (WAM) -- The Organising Committee of the 51st National Day Celebrations has launched the "Today for Tomorrow: National Day Mangrove Project". The project aims to fulfill the UAE's pledge made at COP27 to plant 100 million mangroves by 2030. In line with the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the initiative seeks to restore and enhance the mangrove forests along the UAE's coasts. The project will begin with planting the 10,000 mangrove trees featured in the 51st National Day celebrations across different locations in the seven emirates. Everyone that calls the UAE home, from nature and planting enthusiasts to environmentalists, are invited to join the collective efforts that will begin on 11th May at 10:00 am in Yas Beach, Abu Dhabi.
