The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) has launched the largest campaign to resettle more than 1,580 wild animals that will include antelopes, gazelles, Arabian oryx and mountain ibex.

The campaign is the largest of its kind for RCU, as it includes determining the readiness of the site, and monitoring the resettled animals, in addition to focusing on scientific studies during the preparations for the resettling campaign.

Monitoring of the newly released animals will be carried out with SMART software analysis tools, camera trapping and satellite tracking collars. It is the first time that the lightweight, solar-powered collars will be used for ungulate species in the region.

The commission's campaign comes in line with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030,as well as the Saudi Green Initiative and the Green Middle East Initiative, with the aim of transforming AlUla into the largest living museum in the world while preserving its environmental and historical characteristics.

The Sustainable Agricultural Rural Development Program (Saudi Reef) is showcasing its achievements in developing the rose and aromatic plant sector during its participation as a co-sponsor in the Rose and Aromatic Plants Global Forum, currently being held in Taif Governorate.
The program highlights its efforts to develop this vital sector in line with the objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030, particularly in enhancing food security, improving rural areas, and enhancing agricultural production efficiency, SPA reported.
Saudi Reef Assistant Secretary-General for Media and Communication Majed Al-Buraikan stressed that the program’s participation in the forum aligns with national efforts to empower rose and aromatic plant farmers and aims to promote the program’s initiatives in this field. He noted that the Saudi Reef is a strategic partner in achieving sustainable agricultural transformation, especially in regions known for producing Taif roses and aromatic plants such as Jazan and Aseer.
Al-Buraikan pointed out that the program supports more than 400 farmers and has recorded a 34% increase in rose production over the past four years, reaching 960 million roses annually. It aims to achieve an annual production of two billion roses by 2026, boosting the Kingdom’s position in regional and global markets as a leading producer of roses.
