Dubai: A one-of-its-kind Pollinator Garden, an ecological sanctuary, officially opened at Terra in Dubai’s Expo City today, in the presence of Dr Jane Goodall, the global conservationist behind the initiative.
Terra, the sustainability hub, also announced the launch of the 100 Hives, 100 Schools initiative along with Jane Goodall’s Pollinator Garden. The programme aims to install beehives in 100 schools across the UAE, providing students with hands-on learning experiences about the role of pollinators.
