Riyadh, April 06, 2024, The new access mechanism implemented by the King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority is a significant step toward balancing environmental conservation and public access. By introducing entry permits through their website and setting specific hours for visitor access, the authority aims to protect the natural environment while still allowing people to enjoy the reserve's beauty and wildlife.
This initiative is in line with the broader goals outlined in Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative, which prioritize environmental sustainability and conservation efforts. Preserving the environmental gains achieved since the establishment of the reserve in 2018, such as increased vegetation and wildlife activity, is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance.
Limiting vehicle access during certain hours helps protect sensitive plant life and nocturnal wildlife populations, contributing to the overall health of the reserve's ecosystem. As one of seven royal reserves established with a focus on conservation, the King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve plays a vital role in promoting environmental stewardship and sustainable management practices in the Riyadh Region and beyond.
