The King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority (KSRNR) and the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification (NCVC) planted one million seedlings of 13 local wild plant species, which the center produced and supplied to the reserve, SPA reported.
These plants will contribute to producing oxygen, absorbing tons of carbon dioxide, increase the vegetation cover, and combat sand encroachment.
KSRNR is the largest nature reserve in Saudi Arabia. It covers 130,000 km², and is known for its clean nature, geographic and heritage diversity, and rare monuments.
It consists of three primary conservation areas: Khunfah, Tubaiq, and Harrat Al-Harra.
NCVC is working on protecting the vegetation cover in the Kingdom and developing capabilities to anticipate and mitigate the impact of drought, in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030.

The agency did not immediately provide details on the extent of the eruption but said the alert level remained at the lowest on the scale.
Taal, located about 70 km (45 miles) south of central Manila, is one of the world's smallest active volcanoes and some of its previous eruptions have impacted the capital and air travel.
Despite standing at only 311 m (1,020-feet), it can be deadly and an eruption in 1911 killed more than 1,300 people, Reuters reported.
In January 2021, thousands of people were evacuated after it spewed a 1 km (0.62 mile) high plume of gas and steam.
A year earlier, the Taal volcano shot a column of ash and steam as high as 15 km into the sky, forcing more than 100,000 people to abandon their homes and triggered widespread disruption in the
