Nursery Establishment for Biodiversity in Nabek Region
The project addresses the problems of deterioration of the flora biodiversity in the areas surrounding Nabek city due to population and environmental pressure, degradation of agricultural land, and lack of plant resources of local wild origin, by establishing a nursery for local wild plants. The project aims at providing plants of local origin that can survive and adapt with the local environment, in addition to protecting endangered wild types and making them available for the local community.
