USD25M Saudi Arabian investment will help rewild critically endangered species
(MENAFN) The work of the Royal Commission for AlUla is crucial to attempts to bring the Arabian leopard back, and February 10 has been set aside as Arabian Leopard Day.
The commission, which is in charge of overseeing the restoration of the leopard at the federal level, has established a fund with a $25 million endowment to support conservation efforts and entered into a $20 million, ten-year partnership with Panthera, a US organization that is assisting it.
All of this is a part of a project to save and conserve the severely endangered species.
Last year, classroom instruction and social media outreach using the hashtag #ArabianLeopardDay were used to commemorate Arabian Leopard Day.
The executive director of the commission's Wildlife and Natural Heritage division, Dr. Stephen Browne, stated: "There are around 800 spots on a leopard's coat, but there are only about 200 Arabian Leopards surviving in the wild. As we work to restore habitat, release native species back into the wild, and run conservation breeding programs, regional cooperation is crucial.
He said, "The second annual Arabian Leopard Day raises awareness now to shape decisions tomorrow.
