Saudi Arabia’s first female wildlife ranger unit, part of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve, has proudly completed their 5,000th patrol since their induction in 2022<\/h2>\n

These women have been pivotal in conserving the Reserve’s natural and cultural heritage while breaking new ground for women in conservation careers in the Kingdom. This historic initiative aligns with Vision 2030\u2019s goal of building a more progressive and inclusive society.<\/p>\n

Andrew Zaloumis, CEO of the Reserve Development Authority, praised the female rangers for their dedication<\/h2>\n

\"Saudi's<\/p>\n

He noted that women’s involvement in conservation is vital worldwide. Women make up 33% of the Reserve\u2019s 183-member team, far exceeding the global average of less than 11%. The Reserve is empowering women from the local community to become leaders in conservation, further promoting career development and income growth for locals.<\/p>\n

Around 80% of the Reserve’s workforce comes from the local community, ensuring sustainability in both conservation efforts and economic development<\/h2>\n

These women patrol the Reserve\u2019s vast 24,500 km\u00b2 area daily, safeguarding ecosystems from illegal activities like hunting, logging, and overgrazing, often working alongside the Special Forces for Environmental Security (SFES).<\/p>\n

Ruqayah Awad Al-Balawi, one of the first rangers, emphasized the importance of local women’s participation, saying, “We know the land and its needs best.” The rangers undergo continuous training in various areas such as patrolling, biodiversity monitoring, and leadership development, equipping them with the skills needed to protect Saudi Arabia\u2019s endangered wildlife and landscapes.<\/p>\n

The success of these female rangers is a testament to the Reserve\u2019s commitment to fostering the next generation of conservationists and advancing women\u2019s roles in environmental protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saudi Arabia’s first female wildlife ranger unit, part of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve, has proudly completed their 5,000th patrol since their induction in 2022 These women have been pivotal in conserving the Reserve’s natural and cultural heritage while breaking new ground for women in conservation careers in the Kingdom.
