In a groundbreaking move for the region, the Kingdom has launched the Middle East’s first all-female marine ranger corps, as part of its ambitious Vision 2030 strategy focused on women’s empowerment and environmental sustainability.
This elite team of women has undergone rigorous training to safeguard coral reefs, monitor biodiversity, and enforce environmental regulations across the Kingdom’s marine reserves.
Their mission includes patrolling coastal protected areas and ensuring compliance with rules designed to preserve fragile ecosystems, reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as a leader in sustainable marine and eco-tourism.
The initiative represents not only a milestone in environmental protection but also a major step forward in empowering Saudi women, enabling them to take on leadership roles in critical sectors once dominated by men.
It underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to embracing sustainability, turning environmental challenges into opportunities for growth, innovation, and global recognition.
