ALULA’S CONSERVATION EFFORTS
The Arabian Leopard faces serious extinction without immediate conservation action. In a significant effort to turn the tide, the RCU has undertaken several initiatives to recover the critically endangered species - which include: housing 16 Arabian Leopards in a captive breeding program and designating six nature reserves within AlUla, hosting a Catmosphere Catwalk event to raise local and global awareness, and engaging in a long term partnership with Panthera to ensure that the leopards persist in the wild by 2030.
