The ghaf tree is a part of our Arabian heritage and we must protect and preserve it so that future generations can experience their history through it” – Shaikha Al Shamsi, Assistant Manager at Sharjah Girl Guides (Participated to a planting event)

CONTEXT

Dubaï is a region with extreme weather conditions, where native flora and fauna play an important role in balancing ecosystems. Ghaf tree is one of the few native trees naturally adapted to grow in the harsh desert and it has a key role in providing habitat for a large variety of species.
Yet, it is being replaced by exotic species (planted for beautification purposes), which are very water-consuming

Project Narrative

CONTEXT Dubaï is a region with extreme weather conditions, where native flora and fauna play an important role in balancing ecosystems. Ghaf tree is one of the few native trees naturally adapted to grow in the harsh desert and it has a key role in providing habitat for a large variety of species. Yet, it is being replaced by exotic species (planted for beautification purposes), which are very water-consuming BENEFITS In the United Arab Emirates, the Give a Ghaf project, conducted with the Goumbook NGO, supports the planting of resilient native species such as Ghaf trees in order to preserve desert ecosystems. Trees help fixing the dunes and avoiding sand propagation in urban areas while providing habitat for diversified fauna
