Compare
Compare organizations side by side.
Choose up to four. The comparisons that teach you something are between organizations of similar size doing similar work, so put a city nonprofit beside another city nonprofit rather than beside a national program.

| Data note | All figures are Saudi government announcements (NCVC / Ministry of Environment via the Saudi Press Agency) relayed by Arab News; the official SGI site (greeninitiatives.gov.sa) and sgi.gov.sa could not be reached during research, so no independent verification exists for the tree or hectare counts. The land target is stated as 40 million hectares in most government material but the ministry's feasibility study revised the rehabilitated area to 74.8 million hectares. A Climate Fact Checks review (13 Jan 2026) cites a 2022 peer-reviewed estimate of about 1.53 billion cubic metres of treated wastewater per year needed for irrigation and quotes ecologists doubting sapling survival outside oases; no survival rate has been published. |
