RIYADH: Abdulrahman Al-Fadhli, the Saudi Environment Minister and Chairman of the National Centre for Wildlife, released 15 Arabian sand gazelles at Buraidah Oasis Park in Qassim. According to the Saudi Press Agency, the program is a component of the breeding and reintroduction program for endangered species in the 2024–2025 season.
In keeping with the center’s mission to breed endangered species for national parks and natural reserves, it signalled the beginning of this year’s wildlife release season. The center works together with national organizations to conserve the environment.
According to its CEO, Mohammed Qurban, the oasis’ biodiversity is evaluated to decide whether it is necessary to release endangered species, which include both migratory and resident animals. According to him, the center’s programs support ecotourism in Saudi Arabia and give the local population access to economic prospects. The release contributes to the creation of national wildlife plans by reproducing and reintroducing endangered species, restoring ecosystems, and enhancing biodiversity.
Qurban said it aligns with the Saudi Green Initiative and supports the National Strategy for Environmental Conservation, contributing to Vision 2030’s goals of creating a positive environment and improving quality of life.
