Saudis Enthusiastically Take Part In Princess Reema-Led Big Cat Awareness Walk
A seven-kilometer walk dubbed the “catwalk” took place yesterday and Saudis took to it in a big way. The campaign was organized by a US-based nonprofit called Catmosphere that was founded by Princess Reema bint Bandar Al-Saud, the Saudi ambassador to the United States. The walk was held to create awareness of the 7 big cats that include jaguars, cheetahs, lions, pumas, leopards, snow leopards and tigers.
The awareness walks took place around the country.
