Riyadh, April 8 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – The National Center for Wildlife (NCW) announced the successful birth of five endangered Arabian sand gazelles in Buraidah Oasis, marking a key milestone in the Kingdom’s ongoing wildlife conservation and species resettlement programs.

According to the NCW, this development reflects the Kingdom's growing commitment to restoring ecological balance and advancing the sustainability of its natural resources. The births are part of a broader national effort to preserve endangered species and reintroduce them into their natural habitats across Saudi Arabia.

The initiative forms a key component of the NCW’s long-term breeding and resettlement strategy, aimed at enhancing biodiversity and reinforcing environmental resilience.
