Veolia's Green Up project transforms the landscape of Doha

'Doha sees noticeable increase in biodiversity'

The Green Up project, undertaken by Veolia Qatar, has transformed Doha's landscape, making the country greener with a "significant embellishment" of the urban environment, according to a top official of the French environmental services company.

"A noticeable increase in biodiversity has been observed, and the environmental forest that we maintain at the Doha North Plant is its emblematic representation," Laurent Gestin, chief executive officer, Veolia Qatar told Gulf Times in an interview.

He said the more than 90,000 trees it represents (28 species planted on 750 hectares) have become a sanctuary where natural life has resumed its rightful place, welcoming more than 30 different species of birds each year, many of which are migratory.
