Initiatives of the King Salman Reserve Development Authority

The Authority set up an awareness and educational pavilion on the sidelines of the Al-Orouba and Al-Hilal match within the Saudi Professional League “Roshan League”, which was held in the Al-Jawf region.
The pavilion showcased the Authority’s achievements through screens displaying videos to introduce the reserve and the natural and archaeological treasures and wildlife it contains, in addition to distributing “agricultural seedlings” to the sports audience.

The King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority announced that it had monitored nesting cases of the endangered “Rakhma” bird in natural habitats within the scope of the reserve.

Nesting of the “marshmallow” bird
