Saudi royal reserve launches eco campaigns
RIYADH: The Imam Turki bin Abdullah Royal Reserve Development Authority has stepped up efforts to combat environmental challenges through campaigns aimed at reducing harmful behaviors and raising awareness about pollution, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The authority has warned of the cumulative impact of harmful practices, stressing that actions like lighting fires in open areas or dumping waste severely damage soil and vegetation and weaken the ecosystem's ability to regenerate and stay balanced. Pollution begins in the soil, it explained, where chemicals and solid pollutants affect its biological properties and disrupt its role in supporting plant life. The damage extends to groundwater and worsens as pollutants reach the air, releasing toxic gases from burning or decomposing waste. The authority said environmental protection depended on compliance with regulations, adding that cooperation between individuals and relevant entities was key to minimizing damage and ensuring ecosystem stability across the Kingdom. Covering 91,500 sq. km, the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Royal Reserve is the second-largest royal reserve, home to 138 wildlife species and 179 plant species. It is known for its rich ecology, stunning landscapes and heritage sites.
