How the desert landscape is being brought back into balance
The Royal Commission for AlUla’s (RCU) ambitious plan to restore the endangered Arabian leopards’ natural habitat in north-west Saudi Arabia is underway.
Once the habitat has sufficiently recovered, Arabian leopards can be reintroduced into the wild – but a lot of work needs to be done before that happens.
But a stock of the big cats is currently being readied in a captive breeding programme in Taif, southern Saudi Arabia, and there are plans to establish a similar state-of-the-art breeding programme in AlUla.
