The Ministry Of Environment And Climate Affairs Participates At Al-Quiram Natural Park
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs has participated in Al-Quiram Natural Park in order to provide variety of booklets and brochures to introduce the role of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs in the Sultanate. Through the diversity of the Sultanate terrain and the diversity of its wildlife, the Sultanate is considered a distinct home to all living things that adapt to different climate conditions throughout the year. With this diversity, the good government, represented by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs, has given great attention to the protection of ecosystems and their vital components in addition to protecting the natural properties and features and maintain the natural life essentials away from imbalance or extinction. It is also working on the advancement of natural reserves, and it, thus, issued different legislations caring about the protection of wildlife in the Sultanate.
The natural reserve is a space of land or sea with typical ecosystems, geological properties or unique species and its primary purpose is the protection and preservation of biodiversity, scientific research, environmental monitoring, and eco-tourism, as well as benefits to the local population. Moreover, there are requirements that must be met in the preserved areas, e.g. having a rare environmental ecology, a wildlife habitat, the presence of a natural species, and the existence of unusual innate clusters. It should also be distinguished by stunning natural fascinating beauty, tourist attractions, beside the presence of human heritage or natural geological formations or architecture.
These reserves include the natural Islands of Daymaniyat located in Al-Batna South Governorate in Barka, which is an archipelago of nine islands, Al-Saleel Natural Park located in Al-Sharqiyyah South governorate in Al-Kamel and Al-Wafi, the Turtles Reserve in Sour in Al-Sharqiyyah South governorate, the Arabian Oryx Sanctuary in Al-Wusta governorate in Hema, Jabal Samhan Nature Reserve and Al-akhwar Reserve in Salalah.
Through brochures distributed to visitors, the pavilion presents the attention of the Ministry in the human issues and contemporary environment, most importantly is to stop the bio-degradation experienced by most countries in the world due to urbanization and increasing population density, which has led to the misuse of natural resources in a sustainable manner.
