Riyadh – Saudi Arabia has introduced stringent penalties for individuals found violating regulations in protected environmental reserves. The Kingdom's Special Forces for Environmental Security issued a clear warning, particularly targeting hikers and truffle hunters.

Offenders who damage or cut fences surrounding these reserves will face fines of up to 100,000 riyals. In addition to the monetary penalty, violators will be held responsible for repair costs and required to compensate for any environmental damage caused.

Entry Without a Licence

The authorities also emphasized that entering these protected areas without the necessary licence will result in a fine of 5,000 riyals.

This move underscores Saudi Arabia's commitment to environmental conservation and its efforts to safeguard the biodiversity within these reserves.

The penalties aim to deter activities that could harm the delicate ecosystems in these areas, as the Kingdom continues to prioritize sustainability and environmental protection as part of its Vision 2030 initiatives.
