The Special Forces for Environmental Security apprehended a Saudi citizen in Imam Turki bin Abdullah Royal Reserve for hunting without a valid license, in violation of the Kingdom’s Environment Law.
Officials stated that the individual was found in possession of an air rifle and four hunted wild animals. Legal procedures have been initiated against him.
The Special Forces emphasized that the Environment Law and its implementing regulations strictly prohibit illegal wildlife hunting. Under current regulations, unlicensed hunting carries a fine of SR10,000, hunting in prohibited areas carries a fine of SR5,000, and hunting a warbler without a license carries a fine of SR5,000.
The agency urged the public to report environmental or wildlife violations by calling 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Region, or 999 and 996 in other regions of Saudi Arabia. All reports will be treated with complete confidentiality, and informants will bear no liability.
