Imam Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Plants Over 1 Million Trees, Shrubs During First Half of 2024

Imam Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Plants Over 1 Million Trees, Shrubs During First Half of 2024

The Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve Development Authority has completed the planting of more than one million and 200,000 trees and shrubs during the first half of this year 2024, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.

This is part of the Authority's plan to resettle indigenous wild plants in the Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve and the King Khalid Royal Reserve.

The authority said the planted wild trees and shrubs include Sidr, Talh, Arfaj, Arta, and others, stressing that all of them are indigenous wild plants, and were carefully selected to suit the environment in the two reserves.

The authority added that it had started to boost vegetation cover and resettle indigenous wild plants since 2021. It said its efforts are ongoing, aiming to preserve, increase and develop vegetation cover to achieve its strategic objectives to achieve the objectives of the Saudi Green Initiative, Saudi Vision 2030, and improving quality of life.

Prosecutors say a woman's home in a remote area of northern California was so badly damaged by a series of burglaries that bears were able to get inside, causing additional destruction that compounded her financial losses.

The Butte County District Attorney's Office said it filed burglary charges over the past week against 11 people for the break-ins at the home of a 64-year-old woman outside Magalia.

The homeowner first reported a burglary in April 2024, authorities said. That was followed by a series of additional intrusions that drove her from her home. With the house being empty, bears went inside, The Associated Press reported.

Along with the 11 suspects, Butte County prosecutors said, another five suspects have been tentatively identified and charges against them are pending.

Five of the 11 were still in the county jail as of early Saturday, all facing a burglary charge. Others have posted bail or were released on their own recognizance, according to the district attorney's statement. Ten are residents of Magalia, while the other is from nearby Paradise.

Magalia is about 92 miles (148 kilometers) north of Sacramento in a region of vast national forests. The woman's home is in the Lovelock area, just north of Magalia.
