Saudi Environmentalist Launches Eco Museum to Preserve Rare Trees, Birds

Local environmentalist Lahiq Al-Hadi has created a new approach to preserve Asir's natural and cultural heritage by developing an educational environmental museum, according to the Saudi Press Agency. Nestled in a valley beneath the Asir Mountains, the museum attracts both residents and tourists who visit the site to explore rare trees, insects, birds, and traditional agricultural tools. Al-Hadi, from the Rijal Almaa governorate in the Asir region, said that the museum will feature a specialized section for beekeeping and honey production, highlighting the local flowers that support bees along with the endangered seeds the museum aims to preserve and propagate. Interestingly, this brilliant environmentalist has replanted over 68 species of local trees and plants that were once rare or threatened. He has devoted most of his time in looking for rare seeds and distribute them to interested growers, emphasizing that 'every seed planted means a new hope will sprout in the earth.' Fortunately, these strenuous efforts have paid off, with the environment improving. Al-Hadi also noticed that several migratory bird species have returned after replanting the vegetation they need. In order to offer deep glimpses into Asir's cultural heritage, Al-Hadi's museum also features a pavilion focused on Asir's traditional stone architecture.

Tremors rattle Egypt - Egypt - Al-Ahram Weekly

Egypt recently suffered two successive tremors. Reem Leila tries to find out if the country is becoming an earthquake zone. In the past couple of weeks, Egypt experienced two earthquakes. The first, of a magnitude 6.4 on the Richter scale, took place on 14 May. Eight days later, residents woke up to a 6.2 earthquake. They were felt by wide segments of the population across various governorates — from Greater Cairo and the Delta to the northern coast. Although the epicentres of both quakes were located south of the Greek island of Crete, hundreds of kilometres away from Egyptian territory, their strength, exceeding six according to the Richter scale, was enough to concern Egyptians. Citizens reacted strongly. Social media was filled with testimonies and questions about the nature and causes of the earthquakes, and an increased search for information regarding safety. According to the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG), Egypt is not located within major seismic belts and earthquakes occurring deep in the Mediterranean Sea do not pose a direct threat to the country. According to Sherif Al-Hadi, head of the Earthquake Department at the NRIAG, Egypt is not sitting on any seismic belts and is not threatened by earthquakes. 'The term seismic belt means that we would be constantly alert day and night due to consecutive earthquakes,' Al-Hadi said, explaining that what is currently happening is that Egypt is affected by several seismic belts outside its borders. Among these seismic belts are those passing through the Mediterranean Sea south of the islands of Cyprus and Crete. One of those is a low-activity seismic belt 390 km away from Cairo. The other is more than 700 km away from Cairo and has almost no effect on Upper Egypt. Al-Hadi confirmed that Egypt 'is at a safe distance, and what is happening is only the sensation of tremors, especially on the upper floors, without any damage to infrastructure or any losses of lives or property.' Abbas Sharaki, a Cairo University geology professor, told Al-Ahram Weekly that most of the earthquakes felt in Egypt originate from the Mediterranean Sea, particularly from the regions near Greece and Turkey. Sharaki said that some of the zones prone to feeling earthquakes include the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the area extending from the Dead Sea up to Turkey. Greece is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, he added. However, he added that although thousands of earthquakes are recorded there each year, severe damage or fatalities are rare. He described the region as a very active and systematic seismic zone that has experienced stronger earthquakes in the past, but none have seriously impacted Egypt. Sharaki also noted that the NRIAG is closely monitoring the aftershocks, which so far have been mild. Over the long-term there are expectations of an earthquake occurring in the seismic belt area with a magnitude 6.5. Such events, according to Al-Hadi, happen from time to time but unlike weather, earthquakes cannot be predicted because the nature of the earth is completely different from the nature of the weather. 'What we do is estimate the likelihood of earthquakes based on seismic zones, which may become dormant at times and active at others,' he said. Al-Hadi advised the public, when feeling any tremors, to avoid elevators and use the stairs, and to remain calm, as panic can lead to chaos and stampedes, which in turn cause injuries. * A version of this article appears in print in the 29 May, 2025 edition of Al-Ahram Weekly Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Sana'a - Saba: Sana'a Governor Abdulbasit Al-Hadi inspected on Saturday the progress of the paving and construction project for 30th Street, located on the border of Al-Sawad, in the districts of New Sana'a and Sanhan. Governor Al-Hadi, accompanied by the Technical Affairs Deputy Governor, Engineer Saleh Al-Muntasir, reviewed the completed work on the street, which is being implemented over a length of 962 meters and a width of 30 meters at a cost of 201 million Yemeni riyals, funded by the local authority in the province. Al-Hadi was briefed by the Director of Public Works, Engineer Muhammad Ashia, and the Acting Head of the Executive Unit, Engineer Muhammad Makram, on the progress of the project, which has reached 70% completion, as well as the challenges facing its implementation. During the visit, the Governor of Sana'a stressed the need to overcome obstacles and address issues hindering the project's completion, emphasizing the local authority's commitment to providing support to ensure the project's success, which will contribute to easing traffic flow in the two districts. In a separate visit, Governor Al-Hadi and his delegation inspected the construction project of Al-Nasr Al-Wahdawi School in New Sana'a District, implemented through a community initiative at an estimated cost of 120 million riyals, funded by the local authority, the Central Interventions Unit, and local citizens. Officials in charge of the project provided an explanation of the progress and the circumstances that led to the implementation of the school project, which had been approved over twenty years ago. The project includes the construction of 14 classrooms, along with administrative offices, storage facilities, and other annexes. During the visit, Governor Al-Hadi urged those responsible to redouble their efforts to complete the project according to technical specifications, budget, and scheduled timeline. He reaffirmed the readiness to provide support for the project, which will represent a new addition to the development of educational infrastructure in the governorate. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
