Oman today_ In 2024, Oman experienced a remarkable increase in its vegetation cover, with the total number of trees reaching 3.38 million—71% higher than in 2023—according to data from the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI). Forests in Dhofar accounted for 4.7% of the governorate’s total land area, enhancing the region’s natural beauty.
Although wildlife numbers experienced some changes, Oman’s 32 nature reserves, covering nearly 6% of the country’s land, continue to provide a safe environment for animals and birds.
The country’s climate in 2024 remained stable, with an average maximum temperature of 32.9°C and a minimum of 25.4°C. Solar radiation across different regions provided natural energy and further opportunities for plant growth and agriculture.
In the field of waste management, Be’ah’s landfill sites successfully collected and managed 3.1 million tonnes of waste, while over 41,000 tonnes of medical waste were fully treated. These efforts reflect Oman’s successful initiatives in protecting the environment and improving the quality of life for its people.
