"Hima" Protected Areas Forum and its exhibition, organized by the National Center for Wildlife (NCW), concluded its four-day activities in Riyadh that began April 21 through April 24.
The forum was inaugurated by the Minister of Environment, Water, and Agriculture and Chairman of the Board of the National Center for Wildlife Eng. Abdulrahman Al Fadli, the Saudi Press agency said on Friday.
Mohammed Qurban, the CEO of NCW, stated in a press release issued at the end of the forum that the "Hima" Forum was organized due to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's significant role in global environmental initiatives and the NCW's responsibility as the national entity for the wildlife sector to host significant international conferences.
The NCW is also responsible for monitoring the sector and developing regulations and policies for protected areas within the Kingdom's protected areas system.
"Hima" Protected Areas Forum was attended by local and international participants and featured eight main sessions, a series of workshops, side meetings, and field visits to several natural reserves.
The forum also saw the signing of memoranda and agreements and issued a list of recommendations. In addition to the forum, there was an accompanying exhibition in which environmental centers, Royal reserves, major projects, associations, international environmental organizations, and international reserves participated.

The General Secretariat of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Prize for Cultural Cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China has announced the opening nominations for its first edition.
The nominations are open until the end of February 2025 through the award's official website at (www.pmsa.org.sa).
Dr. Abdul Mohsen Al-Aqili, the award's secretary-general, has invited academic and cultural institutions in both countries to participate actively in the nominations.
Al-Aqili noted that the award accepts nominations in four categories: research and studies in cultural areas, artistic and creative works, translation between Arabic and Chinese, and cultural personality from both countries. Nominations are welcomed from academic and cultural institutions as well as individuals, with the exception of the cultural personalities category.
Applicants are required to adhere to specific criteria, including holding Saudi or Chinese nationality and ensuring that the nominated work is in either Arabic or Chinese. Furthermore, candidates must align with the award's core aim of fostering cultural communication, particularly between Arab and Chinese cultures.
Detailed scientific and technical conditions tailored for each category are available on the award's official website.
"The award champions values of cultural openness and communication among populations, governed by objectivity, integrity, transparency, and intellectual property rights,” Al-Aqili said.
In addition to recognizing outstanding works annually, the award is committed to creating opportunities and initiatives that support its objectives. Particular emphasis is placed on engaging youth in Saudi Arabia and China, harnessing their technical and artistic potential to strengthen cultural ties between the two nations.
The incentive award has been established to empower young talent across three categories: young researcher, young creator, and young translator. The award adheres to the general award guidelines, including a maximum age limit of 35 years for candidates in these categories.
Nominations for the incentive award in these branches are now available through the official website for this edition.
