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.
