Imam Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Authority reiterates hunting ban in protected areas

The Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve Development Authority has reaffirmed the ban on hunting within the Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve and the King Khalid Royal Reserve, stating that no hunting permits are being issued for either reserve.

The authority explained that this decision is part of its efforts to protect wildlife, preserve biodiversity, and ensure the sustainability of ecosystems in the reserves under its supervision.

It added that prohibiting hunting helps safeguard native species and their natural habitats, limits practices that impact their populations and distribution, and supports ecological balance and the integrity of natural systems in both reserves.

The authority also confirmed that field monitoring and surveillance activities will continue to detect any violations, and that regulations will be enforced against offenders in coordination with relevant agencies.
