The Prince of Wales has become Co-Patron of the “Jewel of Arabia Expedition”. His Royal Highness attended the London launch at the Royal Geographical Society. The Expedition aims to raise awareness amongst young people both in and outside of Oman of the value
of Oman’s natural heritage and biodiversity as well as the environmental challenges the country and the wider world face.

06:59Thank you everyone for joining us today. It's great for me personally to be back at the
07:12Royal Geographical Society for the launch of the Children of Arabia expedition. I'm
07:16delighted to be joined by His Highness Sayyid Hussain and I've just had the opportunity
07:20to go through some of the images from the RGS collection and they bring back all memories
07:24from my visit to Oman in 2019. This expedition will not only highlight Oman's rich biodiversity
07:30and natural heritage, it will also symbolise the enduring friendship between our two countries.
07:36This was again demonstrated by the recent visit to the UK by His Majesty the Sultan
07:41of Oman. The expedition will walk in the footsteps of British explorer Bertrand Thomas, taking
07:46in the wonderful coastline of Oman. They will be able to see the beauty of Oman but also
07:51see the damage done by climate change. I'm delighted to have won the winners of the
07:55Airstrop Prize awards last year, well actually it was in 2022, which was from Oman. 4401
08:02removes CO2 permanently by mineralising it in peridotite, a rock found in abundance in
08:07Oman, as well as in America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. I wish Mark and all the team
08:14the very best for your expedition. I wish I was able to join you and I'll be following
08:18you very closely. Thank you again to the winners for joining us today and good luck
08:22to everyone involved.
