Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has launched a large-scale cleaning campaign for the Mekaines Meadow, located in the south of the country, as part of its efforts to raise environmental awareness and preserve natural areas of high environmental value.
The campaign comes within the vision and mission of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, which aims to protect heritage ecosystems, as Mekaines Meadow is one of the prominent natural sites that enjoy unique biodiversity in Qatar.
Earlier, the Wildlife Protection Department at MECC, launched an extensive cleaning campaign in the “Houtan” meadow located in the Al Ghuwairiyah area, as part of its national project to protect wild areas and meadows.
The campaign came as part of the efforts of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to rehabilitate the meadow and protect and preserve biodiversity, as the campaign removed large amounts of accumulated solid and plastic waste, which pose a direct threat to the ecological balance and distort the picturesque nature of the area.
The working teams were able to remove tons of harmful waste, which negatively affects the vegetation cover and biodiversity in the meadow, which is a natural habitat for rare species of plants and living organisms.
