Riyadh: The King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority celebrated World Ranger Day on July 31, honoring the vital contributions of national field personnel in protecting nature and biodiversity within the reserve.

According to Saudi Press Agency, rangers serve as the primary line of defense for the reserve's wildlife, plant habitats, and natural resources, operating around the clock across rugged terrains. Beyond conducting enforcement patrols, they play a crucial role in monitoring ecosystems, raising environmental awareness, and supporting scientific research and wildlife surveys.

The authority highlighted that World Ranger Day serves as a key opportunity to recognize these efforts, which directly support the long-term conservation and health of the Kingdom's natural ecosystems.
