Director’s Message
Since its establishment, the Center has carried a noble mission: to actively contribute to the preservation of Yemen’s environment and its precious water resources, which are fundamental pillars of sustainable development. Throughout this year, our dedicated team has worked diligently to realize our vision of research excellence and to translate our mission into tangible outcomes through specialized studies, applied projects, strategic partnerships, and environmental awareness initiatives.
Participation in local and international events, publication of scientific research, and organization of volunteer campaigns—such as the awareness campaign on the dangers of plastic—are all reflections of our deep commitment to our societal and environmental responsibilities. Moreover, our numerous field visits have been essential in collecting accurate data and offering practical solutions to environmental and water-related challenges in our governorate.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Hadhramout University, especially its President, Prof. Dr. Mohamed Saeed Khanbash, for the continuous support that enables the Center to fulfill its mission. We also thank our local and international partners for their valuable cooperation. We pledge to continue our efforts to achieve our goals in service of Hadhramout and Yemen as a whole.
May God grant us success.
Prof. Dr. Khalid Saleh Bawahidi
Director, Center for Environmental Studies and Water Resources
