Mosul, Iraq —— 15 May 2026 - Al-Hadba University has officially launched an ambitious environmental initiative, the “Project of Planting 10,000 Trees,” dedicating a large area of land surrounding its campus in the city of Mosul for afforestation and reaffirming the institution’s commitment to transforming the university into a green, sustainable academic environment.
