The continuation of these patrols reflects the level of coordination and integration between the parties concerned with environmental protection, and enhances the field presence in one of the most prominent natural and tourist areas in the Kingdom, preserving its wealth of biodiversity, vegetation cover, and natural habitats.
The Protection and Inspection Department confirmed the continuation of its programs and field tours in cooperation with various partner agencies, enhancing the environmental protection system in Wadi Rum Reserve, and preserving its natural resources and environmental value for future generations.
