FRWO’s Main Mission is to preserve the Vegetation Cover

Head of FRWO said that FRWO’s main mission is to preserve the vegetation cover that is achieved through public participation.

According to FRWO’s website, Mr. Khalil Aghaee, Deputy Minister and Head of Forests, Range and Watershed Management Organization (FRWO) stated in the Administrative Council of Natural Resources of Kurdistan NRW Department held on Saturday with the agenda of natural resources conservation plan, cadastre mapping and IWM implementation that people's maximum participation in natural resources management is not realized if we do not consider their fair share of people’s interests from natural resources projects. There is no impasse for people's participation in natural resources management. Therefore any strategy adopted for nature conservation must provide a deserving place to people's participation. 

He said that money is not the sole determining element in natural resources management, and does not bring credit for FRWO. What give credit to FRWO are high technology, professional management skills, and public trust. Therefore, FRWO's capacities should be tested in hard times and difficult situations.

Referring to the positive atmosphere in support of natural resources in the country, Head of FRWO said: “Hopefully, the Supreme Leader, and Heads of the Judiciary and the Parliament lend strong support to management of natural resources that is very promising for the future of natural resources."
