Baghdad Municipality Initiates Tree-Planting Campaign

Baghdad Municipality is actively working to improve the environment and expand green spaces in the Iraqi capital with a new tree-planting campaign. Organised by the Directorate of Relations and Media in collaboration with the Baghdad Cycling Team, this initiative focuses on planting long-living trees along Airport Street and Airport Road within the Green Zone district.

This campaign aims to enhance the overall environment, reduce pollution, and beautify the city. The involvement of the Baghdad Cycling Team exemplifies the collaboration between governmental entities and civil society, fostering sustainable development projects in Baghdad.

Continued efforts in such campaigns are expected to significantly improve the city’s quality of life in the long run. The initiative is a crucial step toward sustainable development, as planting long-living trees along major roads will help mitigate pollution, particularly in areas facing increasing traffic congestion.

The partnership between the Directorate of Relations and Media and the Baghdad Cycling Team underscores the importance of collaboration between the government and civil society. Engaging local groups raises community awareness and encourages public participation in environmental initiatives, promoting a culture of conservation and protection of natural resources.

If these efforts persist and expand, Baghdad may experience noticeable improvements in air quality, heightened environmental awareness, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. Increasing green spaces is vital for providing a healthier, more vibrant environment for the city’s residents, contributing to long-term sustainability and quality of life.
