The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, represented by the Terrestrial Protection Department, announced the removal of 2,357 cases of waste identified in terrestrial areas between July and September 2026, as part of the Terrestrial Waste Monitoring Program and in preparation for the 2026–2027 winter camping season.
These efforts were carried out in cooperation and coordination with a number of relevant entities, including the Ministry of Municipality, represented by the Public Cleanliness Department, the Joint Committee for the Removal of Abandoned Vehicles and Machinery, and the Removal and Encroachment Committee, in addition to Seashore Group (Seashore). This cooperation contributes to integrating national efforts to maintain the cleanliness of terrestrial areas and ensure the sustainability of their natural resources.
The removal operations covered terrestrial sites where waste had been identified, with the aim of preparing them to receive campers and visitors to terrestrial areas, reducing practices that negatively affect the environment, maintaining the cleanliness of terrestrial areas and rawdats, and protecting their natural components.
The Ministry called on campers and visitors to terrestrial areas to comply with environmental requirements and instructions, maintain the cleanliness of terrestrial sites and rawdats, refrain from leaving waste behind or damaging natural components, and stressed that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility that requires everyone’s cooperation.
The Ministry also affirmed that inspection campaigns and field monitoring will continue throughout the winter camping season, contributing to enhancing environmental compliance, reducing violations, and preserving the terrestrial environment so that it remains clean, safe, and sustainable for future generations.
