King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve is one of the Kingdom’s most significant natural reserves, renowned for hosting a remarkable diversity of birds during their seasonal migrations.
In observance of World Migratory Bird Day, the King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority used its social media platforms to emphasize the critical importance of migratory birds, their habitats, and conserving them. It highlighted the various threats these birds face and underscored their vital role in maintaining ecological balance.
The reserve encompasses several key migratory routes across the Arabian Peninsula and features a variety of 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 the environmental monitoring system, aligning with national and international biodiversity conservation strategies. These efforts contribute to strengthening the Kingdom’s global leadership in safeguarding birds and their habitats.
World Migratory Bird Day is celebrated annually to coincide with peak migration periods worldwide, serving as a reminder of the urgent need to protect migratory birds and their natural environments.
