King Salman Royal Reserve Hosts 310 of Kingdom’s Largest Eagle Species

The King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority revealed the presence of four types of vultures living in their natural habitats within the reserve.
The reserve is home to more than 310 individuals of various vulture species, including the Lappet-faced Vulture, the Eurasian Griffon, the Hooded Vulture, and the Egyptian Vulture, some of which are considered rare and are threatened with extinction.
The King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Reserve is home to 35 individuals of the lappet-faced vulture, which is the largest vulture recorded in the Kingdom by size, 200 individuals of the griffon vulture, the second largest vulture in the Kingdom, 50 individuals of the cinereous vulture, which has the largest wingspan among birds in the world, and 25 individuals of the Egyptian vulture, which lives in arid areas and rocky cliffs.
The increase in the number of vultures and many other endangered species within the reserve reflects the success of the authority’s efforts and projects, which include precise measures to protect the vultures. These measures involve reducing illegal hunting, insulating electrical wires to prevent electrocution, and ensuring that the carcasses of dead animals, which are the vultures’ primary food source, are free of toxins.
The King Salman bin Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority affirmed its commitment to continuing its programs and projects aimed at protecting and enhancing biodiversity in the Kingdom and restoring and developing natural habitats to create a safe environment for the reproduction of wildlife species.
