The programme for this initiative includes educational, painting, and drawing workshops, as well as a tree-planting campaign, specifies a press release from the Rabat Zoological Garden, received on Tuesday by MAP.

Thus, on 20 March, an educational workshop aimed at raising awareness of the importance of the role of trees will be organised for children, followed by a tree-planting campaign at the zoo.

On 21 and 22 March, the general public is invited to participate in open painting workshops on the theme of the environment. The canvases created during these workshops will be exhibited in the Zoological Garden's exhibition hall.
