Ras Al Khaimah, UAE – December 8, 2025: To mark the 54th UAE National Day, Aster Volunteers UAE, part of the global CSR arm of Aster DM Healthcare, carried out a Mega Mangrove Sapling Plantation Drive in Ras Al Khaimah. The initiative was conducted in collaboration with the Environment Protection and Development Authority (EPDA) – Government of Ras Al Khaimah, Emirates Environmental Group (EEG), and the Media & Communications Dept of Amity University Dubai Campus, as part of the Aster Green Choices Initiative.

Nearly 500 volunteers came together to plant 2,000 mangrove saplings, supporting the restoration of coastal ecosystems in Ras Al Khaimah. Over the past three years, Aster Volunteers have planted 2,500 trees in the region. With this year’s addition, the total now stands at 4,500 saplings across the UAE. Once fully grown, these mangroves are expected to offset over 1,350 MT of CO₂ emissions annually, reflecting Aster DM Healthcare’s long-term environmental commitment.
