Saudi Arabia has announced harsher punishments for damaging the natural environment and cutting down trees.
This sentence can also be applied for a maximum of 10 years imprisonment and a fine of 30 million Saudi riyals (approximately 127 million Pakistani rupees).
Recently, Saudi Arabia has planned the 2030 Saudi Arabia Vision, which will ensure sustainable environmental development in the country. The first project, which will be completed by April 2021, has been dubbed 'Let's Make (the Country) Green'.
Criminals who cut down trees, uproot herbs, plants and herbs, tear off leaves and stems, tear and peel them, move them and remove their soil, will be given maximum punishment and fines. The Saudi People's Legislature said in a tweet.
Saudi Environment Minister Abdul Rahman al-Fadhli also detailed the plan last week. Earlier in 2016, King Mohammed Suleiman also said that Saudi Arabia must reduce its dependence on oil revenues for a living.
