This includes developing walking and cycling paths, seating areas, and service facilities; extensive afforestation using drought-tolerant native species; planting thousands of trees and shrubs with improved irrigation systems and water collection tanks; and protecting vegetation from grazing and fires through barriers, fences, and designated areas.
