In a step to support livestock breeders and enhance community participation, the Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve Development Authority concluded the "Herb Harvesting" initiative in Rawdat Khuraim, after producing more than 9,000 blocks of herbs over an area exceeding 400 hectares, as part of its efforts to enhance community participation and organize the sustainable use of natural resources, balancing environmental protection with meeting the needs of the local community.
The initiative was implemented in collaboration with the Charity Association in the Governorate of Ramah, and included the mechanical cutting of herbs, collecting them, compressing them into blocks, and preparing them for transport, in accordance with the approved environmental regulations and practices. It aims to provide herbs for livestock breeders from the local community while preserving the vegetation cover and ensuring the sustainability of natural resources in the reserve.
Khalid Al-Mughira, Director of the Community Participation Department at the authority, explained that the initiative is an extension of the authority's efforts to involve the local community in protecting natural resources and organizing their use, pointing out that the collaboration with the association embodies the importance of partnership with the non-profit sector in implementing initiatives that have environmental, community, and economic impacts.
He added that the initiative supports livestock breeders by providing herbs, enhances sustainable practices in natural resource management, and enables the local community to actively participate in environmental initiatives, reinforcing their responsibility towards preserving and sustaining resources.
