Basrah University Organises a Scientific Lecture on the Role of Afforestation in Cities Titled "A Healthy and Sustainable Environment"
The College of Science at Basrah University organized a scientific lecture about the role of afforestation in improving the quality of life in cities, titled "A Healthy and Sustainable Environment."
The lecture, presented by Dr. Afaq Mahdi Jabir, discussed the lack of vegetation in Iraq and the serious dangers accompanying it, coinciding with the significant air pollution occurring in Iraq, the global phenomenon of climate change, and the soil erosion and desertification resulting from the conversion of agricultural land to residential areas.
The lecture aimed to raise environmental awareness regarding the planting of various trees, as this action can help combat desertification and reduce temperatures by an average of 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.
