The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) honored three reserves affiliated with the National Center for Wildlife (NCW).

The reserves are Ibex Reserve Protected Area, Farasan Islands Protected Area, and Uruq Bani Ma'arid Reserve.

The move aims to recognize the reserves’ adherence to international standards to join the IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas.

IUCN praised the NCW's efforts in these reserves to enhance the sustainability of ecosystems, enrich biodiversity, and adhere to the standards of effective management of the province in order to reach a green future, SPA reported.
This honor portrays national efforts to gain global leadership in representing ecosystems, protecting environmentally worthy areas, preserving wildlife species, and improving biodiversity.

An Australian student missing for two weeks near the country's tallest mountain was found on Wednesday, after surviving by foraging for berries, drinking water from a creek and finding two muesli bars left behind by other hikers, police said.

Hadi Nazari, a 23-year-old university student from Melbourne, went missing from his group of friends on December 26 in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Nazari was found on Wednesday afternoon by a group of hikers who alerted the authorities, police in the state of New South Wales said.

“This is the fourteenth day we've been looking for him and for him to come out and be in such good spirits and in such great condition, it’s incredible," NSW Police Inspector Josh Broadfoot said.

The student was in "really good spirits" with no significant injuries, he added.

More than 300 people had searched for Nazari across rugged bushland, police said. The national park is home to the 2,228 meter (7,310 foot) Mount Kosciuszko.
