The selected species include acacia, neem, khaya, elephant\u2019s foot, poinciana, golden shower tree and jacaranda.<\/p>\n<p>Saber said the plan developed by the consultancy has already begun to be implemented, with more than 3,000 trees and nearly 700,000 shrubs and plants planted along a number of major roads and corridors and on vacant land.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly affirmed that work is continuing to implement President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi\u2019s directives to adopt an integrated project to \u201cgreen\u201d various governorates by utilizing vacant and unused land and spaces after clearing them and converting them into gardens and green areas, with the aim of improving the urban environment and the aesthetic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":3966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.8 (Yoast SEO v28.2) -
