Makkah Mukarramah: The Holy Makkah Municipality in two novel moves to contribute to climate goals have announced Digital Tree Plantation Initiative and establishment of Stone Park in its periphery.
Tree Plantation Initiative
The Holy Makkah Municipality has launched a digital afforestation initiative, enabling citizens and residents to join efforts to increase vegetation cover, expand green spaces, protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions.
The municipality first identifies tree species appropriate for Makkah and the holy sites, along with suitable planting locations, according to the Saudi Press Agency reported (SPA).
The details are then uploaded to the Nabatik online platform, which enables individuals to choose their preferred tree, select the location, make online payments and have the trees planted on their behalf, allowing the community to invest in tree-planting efforts from the comfort of their homes.
Through the scheme, the municipality aims to contribute to climate goals, increase the number of trees in Makkah and the holy sites, and document afforestation efforts through the Nabatik platform.
Stone Park
In another important decision, the Makkah Municipality has unveiled plan to build a stone park covering approximately 1,000 square meters in Makkah.
The civic body aims to utilize recycled materials and benefit from leftover stones generated by some projects in Makkah, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The proposed stone park has been designed to offer a serene environment for both residents and visitors, providing a tranquil space amidst the urban landscape.
The innovative idea will improve the landscapes of parks and public facilities and provide unique places that combine natural beauty and local heritage through the use of local resources and sustainable technologies.

The materials used for the stone park are designed to withstand climate challenges, including temperature fluctuations and rainfall.
Additionally, the park’s design allows easy modifications and adaptability.
