World Environment Day (WED) is a day that stimulates awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and public action
Forests cover one third of the earth’s land mass, performing vital functions and services around the world which make our planet alive with possibilities.
The services forests provide are essentially to every aspect of our quality of life. And the answer to sustainable forest management, moving towards a green economy, lies in our hands.
Dr. Sha’ath confirmed that we have a great responsibility towards environment and the university is keen to preserve environment. We also have to ensure environment conservation as livelihoods need to be preserved and enhanced.”
