Miral, the leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences in Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Municipality (ADM), and ALEC have planted 300 trees at Al Masar Park in Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi.
The activity successfully concludes Miral’s “Planting Roots for a Sustainable Future” initiative, reaffirming its commitment to protecting the environment, which is a main pillar under its Group CSR Strategy.
This initiative also comes in line with the “Year of Community,” bringing together over 200 attendees, including employees from Miral and ALEC, as well as around 80 school students from Yasmina British Academy and Yas American Academy.
As part of the initiative, participants planted 200 Ghaf trees, 50 Delonix regia (Flame tree), and 50 Azadirachta indica (Neem tree / Indian lilac), actively raising awareness while contributing to a greener future. They also gained firsthand insight into the ecological and cultural significance of Ghaf trees and the vital role they play in sustaining the region’s ecosystem while directly contributing to environmental preservation.
“Our vision is to shape world-class destinations that not only redefine experiences but also contribute meaningfully to a sustainable future for our community,” said Taghrid AlSaeed, Executive Director of Marketing, Communications & Events at Miral.
“Planting these trees including the Ghaf trees, a symbol of resilience and heritage in the UAE, represents our long-term commitment to environmental protection and creating a greener future. By partnering with Abu Dhabi Municipality (ADM) and ALEC, we hope to inspire upcoming generations to become champions of sustainability and environmental care, fostering a sense of collective ownership in creating a healthier and vibrant environment for all.”
Salma Al Mansouri, Director of Al Tawajud Al Baladi – Khalifa City, reaffirmed Abu Dhabi Municipality’s commitment to support events and initiatives that contribute to improving the quality of life for individuals in the UAE.
She shed light on how the initiative aligns with the objectives of the “Plant the Emirates” National Programme that was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, which aims to enhance agricultural development, increase national food security, and expand green spaces.
Al Mansouri emphasised Abu Dhabi Municipality’s keenness to collaborate with the private sector to support efforts in environmental protection and the sustainability of green areas in the emirate.
