The center emphasizes responsible camping practices, urging individuals to preserve vegetation cover by leaving sites clean, adhering to designated roads, and refraining from using local charcoal or firewood to avoid penalties dictated by Environment Law and its associated regulations for logging violations.
In promoting safety and environmental consciousness, the center advises campers to check weather conditions before embarking on their journey, carry first aid equipment, ensure an ample supply of water and food, exercise caution with campfires, and use appropriate tools to ignite fires in a manner that safeguards vegetation cover.
The National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification is dedicated to the development, protection, and management of vegetation sites. Its mission encompasses the rehabilitation of degraded areas, overseeing pasture lands, forests, and national parks, combating logging activities, detecting encroachments on vegetation cover, and preserving the Kingdom’s natural resources and biodiversity.
