Terrestrial Wildlife Conservation
About Terrestrial Wildlife Conservation
The location, size, and topographic variability of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contribute to its diverse and rich biodiversity at all levels, with the presence of many endemic species. Biodiversity faces multiple threats, including habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as unsustainable resource use. These threats caused severe and rapid declines in wild populations of many species at the national level.
The National Center for Wildlife (NCW) focuses on the development and conservation of wildlife while promoting sustainable use. Through field surveys and scientific research, NCW develops and implements cutting-edge conservation programs and strategies to achieve a specific goal (e.g., protect endangered species). The Center actively supports community participation to achieve environmental sustainability and maximize social and economic benefits, preserving the Kingdom’s natural heritage.
