Jordan plans new land development near Baptism Site
The Land Development Corporation adjacent to Al-Maghtas, in cooperation with the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, examined ways to enhance biodiversity and protect the region's ecosystems through a workshop that discussed the results of an environmental study and a plan for environmental restoration. The study revealed that the area retains significant environmental values, including native plants, wildlife habitats, and nesting sites, but faces challenges such as the spread of invasive species that threaten ecological balance. Technical proposals suggested restoring the environment by removing invasive species, planting native vegetation, creating ecological corridors, improving visitor movement, and regulating lighting and noise. Long-term environmental monitoring programs were also recommended, with the goal of protecting the historic site, ensuring its sustainability, and maintaining its role as part of UNESCO's World Heritage.
