RIYADH: The National Center for Wildlife reaffirmed its commitment to protecting wildlife and preserving natural habitats, in alignment with World Wildlife Day, marked annually on March 3, recognizing this responsibility as essential to nature conservation and ecosystem sustainability in the Kingdom.

The center emphasized its efforts in wildlife development, which include breeding endangered species and reintroducing them into their natural habitats, developing and managing protected areas, and implementing environmental monitoring programs and scientific research.

This approach builds on a phased institutional effort, expanding breeding and reintroduction programs for wildlife species from seven to 21, with a strategic plan to reach 50 programs by 2030.

The NCW is also focused on enhancing wildlife management efficiency and advancing operational tools, thereby strengthening a national approach grounded in science and long-term planning.
