The Syrian Future Movement joins the international community in celebrating the International Day for Biological Diversity, observed on Friday, May 22, 2026. This international occasion, launched by the United Nations, aims to solidify the values \u200b\u200bof nature conservation and the protection of endangered ecosystems as a fundamental pillar for the continuation of human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our participation in this day embodies our deep belief that preserving and protecting nature is the essence of civilization and true progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also affirm that protecting ecosystems is a fundamental pillar of national security and sustainable economic recovery in the future Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement believes that successive crises and years of prolonged conflict have exhausted our country’s ecosystem. Recent environmental reports for 2025\/2026 indicate a sharp decline in vegetation cover and an abnormal change in rainfall patterns in agriculturally significant areas such as northeastern Syria (Hasakah). We believe that this deterioration not only threatens Syria’s unique plant species, which number over 3,077, but also profoundly impacts our food security and the stability of our local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement believes that the current transitional phase the country is undergoing presents a historic opportunity to reformulate national policies on advanced foundations. Building a new Syria requires moving away from temporary, piecemeal solutions and adopting a “national green strategy” that aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement believes that biodiversity in Syria represents a rich geographical and cultural identity. The loss of important environmental symbols, such as the northern bald ibis in the Palmyra desert, or the degradation of biodiversity habitats in coastal forests and steppes, reflects the magnitude of the environmental gap that the local and international communities must bridge immediately through joint coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a safe transition to environmental protection during this phase, the Syrian Future Movement recommends the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement concludes its statement by emphasizing that belonging to the civilized global community begins with preserving our lands and natural resources. We believe that commitment to biodiversity is a commitment to the right of future generations to a safe and stable life, and to building a modern Syrian state based on a balance between economic growth and nature conservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" World Biodiversity Day is an opportunity to emphasize the importance of preserving nature and addressing environmental changes in Syria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":64368,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4688],"tags":[4763],"class_list":["post-64367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-presidency-office-en","tag-congratulations-and-events"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
