Why is environmental protection important in Shingal?

The Shingal region in northern Iraq is not only historically and culturally significant, but also home to unique flora and fauna. However, it is severely jeopardised by climate change, deforestation and a lack of infrastructure. The effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures and increasing droughts, are hitting Shingal particularly hard and making life more difficult for the local population.

An intact ecosystem is essential to ensure the quality of life of the local people. Agriculture, water resources and clean air depend directly on a sustainable approach to nature. Through targeted environmental protection measures, we can not only protect nature, but also improve the livelihoods of the people in Shingal.

Reforestation and protection of trees

Restoring destroyed forests and planting new trees is crucial to prevent soil erosion, improve air quality and create shade in the hot region.

Promotion of renewable energies

By using solar energy, we want to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and at the same time make clean energy accessible to the people of Shingal.

Our goals for environmental protection in Shingal

Sustainable irrigation techniques and the protection of water sources are essential to secure agriculture in the region and combat water scarcity. Effective water management not only secures the supply of water for the population, but also promotes the sustainable development of the region.

Environmental education campaigns are a central component of our work. Local people should learn how to use resources sparingly and why it is important to protect the environment.

Waste disposal management

The region struggles with inadequate waste disposal, which leads to environmental pollution, health risks and a strain on natural resources. Our aim is to introduce a sustainable system that not only reduces waste, but also reuses resources efficiently.

Why take action now?

Shingal has already been through a lot - from conflicts to neglected infrastructure. Environmental protection is an opportunity to create a better future for the region. Restoring nature and promoting sustainable technologies can not only save the environment, but also drive economic and social development. Together we can make Shingal a role model for sustainable development.
