These efforts are part of a broader mission to restore 250,000 hectares of degraded habitats across the reserve.
Additionally, the authority has successfully relocated 1,235 wildlife species, including the rare Arabian oryx, sand gazelles, Arabian gazelles, and the endangered Arabian leopard. This restoration of wildlife populations reflects the reserve’s commitment to biodiversity conservation.

This recognition places the reserve among a global group of protected areas that uphold the highest standards in conservation, further enhancing Saudi Arabia’s role in global environmental leadership.
