Yemen, a country located in the Arabian Peninsula, faces a multitude of environmental challenges that have significant implications for its people and ecosystem. From water scarcity and desertification to waste management and deforestation, Yemen's environmental issues require urgent attention and sustainable solutions. In this blog post, we will explore the role of EvalYemen, a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental evaluation and conservation, in addressing these pressing environmental concerns and promoting a greener future for Yemen.

In Yemen, the protracted war since 2015 has a major negative impact on the environment. Many farmlands were either burned or left to die, and outbreaks of disease arose as a result of garbage dispersed between homes and on the streets. The climate has also changed dramatically. The winter season was not felt by locals here in Sana'a governorate as every year, as it was unusually warm.

  Adopting a positive environmental behaviours is crucial to participate in conserve our lovely environment. Especially, within human conflicts or natural disasters when basic services such public cleaning services were inavailable, a hygienic behaviour among Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs) and host communities is required.
