Students from Qatar Academy Msheireb and Qatar Academy Al Wakra recently participated in an initiative organized by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to release endangered baby hawksbill turtles at Fuwairit Beach. The objective of this initiative was to raise environmental awareness among students and the wider community in Qatar, emphasizing the importance of conserving local biodiversity and educating future generations about the critical need to protect turtles from extinction. The students involved in the program expressed their excitement and eagerness to help the turtles return to their natural habitat safely.

Sarah Naveed, a 7-year-old student from Qatar Academy Msheireb, shared her experience of releasing the baby hawksbill turtles and highlighted the importance of protecting them from extinction. She emphasized the detrimental effects of pollution, particularly plastic waste, on marine life, including turtles. Similarly, Ahmed Jassim, a 12-year-old student at Qatar Academy Al Wakra, underscored the significance of creating a safe and healthy environment for turtles to thrive. He encouraged fellow students to actively engage in environmental conservation initiatives and play a role in preserving the natural world.

Aisha Ghani, an Environment Specialist at Qatar Foundation Health, Safety, and Environment, explained the educational objectives of the turtle hatching and release initiative. She mentioned that the program aims to educate students about sea turtles, their life cycle, habitats, threats they face, and the impact of pollution on marine life. By integrating this initiative into school curricula, students are given the opportunity to develop a sense of responsibility and care for the environment. Ghani stressed the importance of environmental education in shaping future conservation efforts and inspiring students to become advocates for the environment.

Jassim Lari, Head of the Marine Wildlife Development section at the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, highlighted the critical role of hawksbill turtles in the marine ecosystem, both locally and globally. By involving students from various schools in initiatives like turtle release programs, the ministry aims to educate the next generation about environmental care, natural habitats, and biodiversity. Turtles are particularly focused on due to their significant role in the Qatari marine ecosystem as migratory animals that travel across borders, including the Arabian Gulf.

Overall, the participation of students in releasing baby hawksbill turtles at Fuwairit Beach demonstrates a growing awareness and commitment to environmental conservation in Qatar. Through hands-on experiences like these, students are able to witness the importance of protecting wildlife and preserving natural habitats. By integrating environmental education initiatives into school curricula, students are equipped with the knowledge and motivation to make sustainable choices and advocate for the protection of the environment. The collaboration between educational institutions, government agencies, and environmental organizations is essential in fostering a culture of environmental stewardship among youth in Qatar.
