On Tuesday, 17/3/1442 A.H., the University, represented by the College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, organized a remote scientific lecture entitled "The Tree is the Solution", presented by Prof. Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Suqair, in conjunction with the launch of the sixth phase of the campaign launched by His Royal Highness Prince Dr. Faisal bin Mishaal bin Saud bin Abdulaziz under the slogan "Qassim Land is Green", in which many entities in the region are participating.  

During the lecture, Al Saqeer reviewed the comprehensive environmental renaissance that the Kingdom is witnessing, in which trees and vegetation in general have received special importance, represented by giant protection and afforestation projects. He listed many examples, including the establishment of royal reserves, the Green Riyadh project, as well as the Green Qassim Land campaign and the "Let's Make it Green" campaign, and emphasized that Saudi Vision 2030 has defined the framework of this environmental renaissance and emphasized it. 

The lecture addressed the importance of tree care and afforestation, which is justified if we consider its important role in combating pollutants of all kinds, reducing the severity of desertification and sandstorms, enhancing biodiversity, humanizing cities and enhancing the quality of life, in addition to its other health, economic and aesthetic advantages, so countries around the world race and compete to plant and care for trees and increase the area of green spaces.   

He pointed out that the success of afforestation projects in the Kingdom requires the cooperation of the government sector, the charitable sector and the private sector, in addition to the need to take advantage of the growing societal awareness of the importance of trees and their vital role for humans and the environment by involving all segments of society in efforts to develop and preserve vegetation cover due to its paramount importance to public health, quality of life and the environment.
