ERBIL — The greening of Erbil's main streets is set to continue, with Governor Omed Khoshnaw announcing that the city’s green coverage is expected to reach 50% upon completion.

The campaign is part of the ninth cabinet of the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) efforts to enhance environmental cleanliness and beauty in the capital. 

The current initiative focuses on greening Bahrka Street, located between Erbil’s two main roads, the 120-meter and 150-meter streets, with more than one thousand trees being planted and another 1,500 by the end of the year.

Governor Khoshnaw stated that these efforts would increase the city's green area from the current standard of 20%, as the campaign continues until the end of the year. This project is part of a broader goal to create a cleaner environment and beautify the streets of Erbil.
