RIYADH: The King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve is one of the Kingdom’s most significant natural reserves, known for its remarkable diversity of birds during seasonal migrations, according to a Saudi Press Agency report.
In observance of World Migratory Bird Day, the reserve’s Development Authority used its social media platforms to highlight the importance of migratory birds, their habitats, and conservation efforts.
It also drew attention to the threats these birds face and emphasized their vital role in maintaining ecological balance, the SPA added.
The reserve lies along several key migratory routes across the Arabian Peninsula and includes diverse environments, including mountains, valleys, mudflats and water bodies, which provide ideal habitats for resting, feeding and temporary breeding for hundreds of bird species.
The authority reaffirmed its commitment to protecting migratory birds and enhancing environmental monitoring, in line with national and international biodiversity conservation strategies.
These efforts strengthen the Kingdom’s global leadership in safeguarding birds and their habitats, according to the SPA report.
World Migratory Bird Day, celebrated annually on Oct. 11, coincides with peak migration periods worldwide and serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect migratory birds and their natural environments.
