ZHO stressed that the issue of the environment and environmental awareness occupies a major place in all files, conferences and events of the organisation, which is proud to bear the name of late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the first environment man.
This initiative comes within ZHO’s efforts to preserve the environment and call for reducing the use of all types of plastic materials, as part of its participation in the third Family Development Forum to raise the level of environmental awareness for visitors, which is an opportunity to strengthen the UAE’s efforts to protect the environment.
