About UsAbout the Reserve
Rewild Arabia
Prince Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve is home to dramatic landscapes, exceptional plant and animal biodiversity, and an 85,000-year-old rich cultural heritage. Covering 1% of Saudi Arabia’s terrestrial area and 1.8% of its marine area, it is home to over 50% of the Kingdom’s marine and terrestrial species.
We are proudly leading one of the most ambitious rewilding initiatives in the Middle East, reintroducing endangered species and restoring 24,500 km² of natural beauty across 15 distinct ecosystems – from the Hijaz mountains to the Red Sea.
