Doha, Qatar: To celebrate The International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem the team at Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som planted more than 200 new mangrove seedlings.

The International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem is a UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) holiday celebrated every year on July 26 since 2016. Now in the eighth year, the day aims to raise awareness of the importance of mangrove ecosystems and to promote solutions for their sustainable management, conservation and use. Mangroves play a crucial role in stabilizing coastlines, supporting diverse wildlife, and serving as carbon sinks that mitigate climate change effects.

General Manager Holger Glaser said, “At Zulal Wellness Resort, we are committed to environmental sustainability and the preservation of our natural resources. By planting 200 new mangrove seedlings, we endeavour to restore and expand the nature in Al Ruwais and in surrounding areas. 

“We will continue to contribute and give back to the community in whatever part we can do. Especially in preserving and maintaining the valuable nature in a more sustainable way by fostering an eco-friendly mindset among our employees and guests.”

In line with the UN’s sustainable development goals, Sustainability is at the heart and soul of Zulal Wellness Resort where the Qatari mangroves are honoured at the resort’s dedicated mangrove education centre which teaches guests about the biological value of the mangrove ecosystem.
