The Environment Ministry has allocated EGP 70 mn to finance development of natural protectorates in Egypt, according to Egypt Today. The policy will see the government removing encroachments and addressing other damages caused by people in the Wadi Degla, Wadi El Rayan, and the Petrified Forest protectorates. The ministry is also assessing other areas in 14 districts to determine whether or not declaring them as protectorates would be viable.
