In 2021, the government directed the Minister of Agriculture Jihad, the Natural Resources and Watershed Management Organization, and the Department of Environment to conduct the program.[3][4][5][6][7]

Iran's water crisis fed doubts about the project's viability.[8][9]

Three hundred million trees were to be planted by the government. 250 million saplings were to be produced annually.[10][11][12] Project goals include to revitalize natural jungles, to farm trees, to increase urban green space, and to counter sandstorms.
