EU Seeks to Help Egypt Build Forests to Combat Climate Change
Taarek Refaat
Hany El Kateb, Presidential Advisor for Agricultural Affairs said that several European countries are interested in helping establish forests in arid regions, particularly in Egypt.
The presidential advisor explained that there are four major projects proposed to establish tree forests in Egypt.
El-Kateb added, during a call-in on one of the TV channels, that planting trees and forests has many benefits, and that what has been established in Egypt has been wasted.
He added that Egypt does not have the idea of establishing forests, calling for the establishment of tree forests, which would help combat climate change.
He continued: In the mid-1990s, a pioneering project was implemented using wastewater to grow timber trees. It was one of the most successful projects, but it was wasted.
El-Kateb pointed out that the trees were irrigated with wastewater, while at the same time we provided them with the necessary fertilizer through nutrients found in wastewater, such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
"We now have very high biomass and high growth rates with the presence of sunlight, which led to a large production that no one expected," he concluded.
