Why our treasured National Tree was chosen as the symbol for the Year of Tolerance? The Ghaf tree was chosen as a symbol of the Year of Tolerance because of the great significance that the tree bears as an indigenous tree. It is associated with popular and environmental heritage. It is a symbol of the stability of the desert and a witness to old customs. The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan has given the Ghaf tree a great importance and has issued laws and regulations prohibiting the cutting of the Ghaf tree throughout the state. The majority of the community practiced most of their social behavior under the trees of Ghaf, as it was a focal point for gathering and diversity. This was seen as a manifestation of communication and solidarity, and tribal meetings were held to discuss matters of their lives. According to some historians many leaders took council under the Ghaf tree to receive their citizens and listen to their demands directly. SIGNIFYING STABILITY Ghaf trees are a source of stability in the middle of the desert. Human settlements can often be found around them. A SYMBOL OF GIVING It is a symbol of generosity and sustainability. It is a source of food for humans, domesticated animals and wildlife alike. THE SPIRIT OF COEXISTENCE It can adapt and coexist with the arid desert environment. A PLACE OF CONVERGING Tribes came together around these trees to hold traditional meetings and discuss various issues. |

Hello Sainath!
I enjoyed reading your report as I've learnt so much about Ghaf tree. I didn't know that Ghaf tree is symbol of tolerance and stability. Neither had I known its great significance as an indigenous tree. The recent prohibition on cutting the Ghaf tree will not only preserve the cultural value it has but also biodiversity. I look forward to reading more reports from you : )
