The staff of AFCAR Center, including researchers and employees, headed by the Director of the Center, participated in environmental conservation activities by organizing a volunteer tree-planting campaign at the University of Mosul on Wednesday, 4 November 2026.

The campaign involved planting Dodonaea seedlings near the Center’s greenhouses, as part of an initiative aimed at expanding green spaces, enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the site, and promoting greater interest in plants and green cover across the university campus.

  This initiative highlighted the importance of volunteer work and the active participation of research staff in environmental activities. Such efforts contribute to raising environmental awareness, encouraging sustainable practices, and strengthening collective responsibility for protecting and developing green spaces.

  The campaign is in line with the University of Mosul’s commitment to supporting environmental initiatives and activities aimed at improving environmental conditions and promoting sustainability. It also seeks to make tree planting an ongoing practice that contributes to creating a greener and more attractive university environment.

  This initiative aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

• Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

• Goal 13: Climate Action.

• Goal 15: Life on Land.

• Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
