Arid Forest Research Institute

The Arid Forest Research Institute (AFRI) is a government research center that works to protect and improve the health of drylands and arid forests. AFRI studies the ecosystems of these areas, including their plants, animals, soils, and climate. They then use this information to help protect forests, conserve water and soil, and improve the environment for people who depend on these resources. By doing this, AFRI helps make sure these areas have enough resources for people to use and also helps protect them from climate change.
