The King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority has witnessed the births of the Arabian Oryx. This comes as part of its efforts to enrich biodiversity of the reserve, restore ecological balance and consolidate the concept of environmental sustainability.
The Authority aims to reproduce endangered animals and resettle them in natural reserves, and rehabilitate ecosystems in Saudi Arabia.
This is in line with the comprehensive strategic targets for 2030 for royal reserves, and the outputs of the Saudi Green Initiative (SGI), derived from the Kingdom's Vision 2030.
The new births of young Arabian Oryx, known as "Ghadhid", were monitored with satellite-supported tracking devices.
This confirms the success of the programs for the animals' resettlement in the reserve and their adaptation to their new environment. It leads to the prosperity of vegetation cover, as well as the high environmental awareness among members of local communities.
Saudi Arabia is at the forefront of global centers specialized in the breeding of endangered species and their settlement in their natural habitats in line with international standards.
