UAE’s concern over the environment continues to intensify: Nahyan bin Mubarak

Aimed at raising awareness on the importance of soil conservation, the gathering drew the participation of around 10,000 people, including several VIP guests.

It kicked off with an opening address by the guest of honor, Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, who said, "Our observation of the alarming soil erosion around the world, and our desire to understand what we see, reminds me of the UAE’s most prominent environmentalist, our Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed, who had a deep love of nature. After Sheikh Zayed’s passing, our country’s concern for the environment continued to intensify so that now the UAE, led by the President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has established many environmental initiatives and organisations."

"In the spirit of the love of nature, we must all continue to explore ways to improve how we plan, protect, manage, and use our natural resources. I also believe there is a strong connection between our spiritual values and how we care for the environment. Our spiritual values provide the moral imperative to ensure that all people in all countries can enhance their standard of living without acting in ways that will leave their future generations
