Protecting the Environment and Combating Forest Fires in Halabja

 

As part of a new initiative and the continuation of an effort that has been underway for several years to provide forest fire suppression equipment to different areas, the organisation Malakawa Dilî Jînge has provided nine additional units to support the Halabja Civil Defence Directorate and the Martyr Ari Firefighting Team.

 

Practical guidance was also provided to the teams on how to operate and make effective use of the equipment, as well as on appropriate methods for controlling forest fires and preventing their spread.

 

This project and initiative will continue, with the aim of extending access to firefighting equipment and training on forest fire control techniques to as many areas across the Kurdistan Region as possible. The initiative builds on several years of accumulated experience in this field.

 

It is worth noting that:

 

- Six of the devices were provided through the financial support of Mr. Sheikh Tahir.

- The remaining devices were supplied as part of the second phase of a campaign to distribute 70 forest fire suppression devices, implemented within the framework of the Penjwen Learning City Programme.

 

Appreciation and Recognition

 

As the Penjwen Learning City Programme, and as a partner in these efforts and the provision of some of this equipment, we extend our heartfelt thanks and sincere appreciation to the environmental advocates, volunteers, Peshmerga members, and dedicated individuals of the Malakawa Dilî Jînge Organisation for this significant initiative and their continued commitment to protecting the environment and serving the community.

 

We wish them continued success in their valuable environmental and humanitarian work.

 

Together, through cooperation, experience, and commitment, we can strengthen forest fire prevention and protect the natural environment of the Kurdistan Region.
