Joint efforts to conserve Baptism Site biodiversity
The consultative workshop organized by the Land Development Corporation adjacent to Al-Maghtas site and the Nature Conservation Society included discussions on the results of the environmental study and the technical framework for restoring the areas surrounding the site. The aim was to enhance biodiversity and protect ecosystems in accordance with international standards. The study revealed that the area retains significant environmental values, such as the presence of native plants, habitats for wildlife and migratory birds. It also identified challenges such as the spread of invasive plant species that threaten ecological balance. The framework proposes practical solutions, including removing invasive species, replanting native varieties, establishing ecological corridors, and improving visitor management, all aimed at preserving biodiversity and developing the area sustainably in line with Al-Maghtas’ status as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
