Vehicle intrusion on wild meadows spotted

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change's Wildlife Protection Department patrols in the Central Region has spotted an environmental violation involving the unauthorised entry of a vehicle into one of the Rawdat in Al Jumailiya area.One of the offenders drove over the grass, causing damage to the wild plants and disrupting the ecological balance at the site. The ministry confirmed that the necessary legal measures have been taken against the violator in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.The ministry stressed that such behaviour does not reflect a sense of environmental responsibility and contradicts national efforts to protect vegetation cover and prevent soil degradation.The ministry urged all to comply with approved environmental requirements and regulations, and avoid harmful practices that damage plants and grass, in particular during the rainy season, when vegetation cover grows naturally. It also stressed the importance of sticking to designated roads when travelling in desert areas, and avoiding random entry that threatens the environment and negatively impacts the sustainability of wildlife.The ministry also renewed its call for the public to participate in efforts to protect the environment and preserve the beauty of Qatar’s nature by adhering to laws and reporting any harmful practices. This contributes to promoting a culture of environmental awareness and ensures the sustainability of biodiversity for future generations.
