Established as part of Saudi Vision 2030, the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve in Saudi Arabia has expanded its protected areas to cover 18 percent of the Kingdom's territory, making it one of the most biodiverse protected areas in the Middle East. The reserve is home to more than 1,300 species and 2,000 historical and archaeological sites, and has successfully reintroduced 11 of its 23 native species. It also highlights historical landmarks and is part of UNESCO's World Heritage Tentative List. The reserve has made a significant social impact through community development initiatives and the establishment of an all-women ranger unit.
