National CSR Fund – MAJRA plants 8,200

mangroves in Jebel Ali Marine Sanctuary

By News Desk 1 27/01/2025

Majra National CSR Fund –planted 8,200 mangrove saplings in Jebel Ali Marine Sanctuary, to offset the
carbon footprint generated by its recent ‘Impact Retreat’, highlighting its commitment towards environmental
responsibility in the UAE and community collaboration. The exceptional move, inspired by the World Bank
data report stating that a person should plant 164 trees a year to offset their minimum carbon footprint, aims

to foster a sense of accountability for the institutions and private sector and promote the adoption of
sustainable practices when conducting in-person gatherings, which contribute to supporting the achievement

of economic and social development

The initiative commenced with the gathering of participants at the Jebel Ali Marine Sanctuary, where they

attended an environmental awareness session, exploring the role of mangroves in combating climate
change, protecting coastlines and supporting biodiversity. After the session, attendees planted the saplings at
the planting site, which served as an important team-building exercise for reinforcing the

shared values of sustainability and conservation. They also participated in a team challenge to learn about
local marine biodiversity.
