Amman, Sept. 29 (Petra) – Minister of Youth Raed Adwan on Monday underscored the importance of fostering a culture of volunteerism in environmental protection, noting the role community initiatives play in preserving natural resources and expanding green spaces.

He pointed to the ongoing national campaign against littering, organized by the Ministry of Environment in partnership with public and national institutions.
