Sustainability

Oman Botanic Garden will follow sustainability principles in its design, construction and operation.

To protect our unique plants and precious environment, we need to live in a more environmentally-friendly, or sustainable, way so that our lives do not damage the environment that supports us. The Oman Botanic Garden aims to promote and demonstrate best practice in sustainability.

We are aiming for international recognition through the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification process. This demonstrates that we are using water efficiently, using recycled, locally produced and safe materials, minimising energy use, investing in renewable energy sources and sharing what we learn with our visitors.

Through research, discovery and empowerment of visitors, the Oman Botanic Garden will work to ensure that the environment is protected to conserve our native plants.
