Saudi Post | SPL Issues Commemorative Stamp Honoring the National Cultural Awards

Saudi Post | SPL has issued a SAR 3 commemorative stamp along with a SAR 5 commemorative postcard, celebrating the Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve Development Authority.

The Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve is one of Saudi Arabia’s Royal Reserves, located northeast of Riyadh, approximately 100 kilometers from the capital. The reserve is home to a rich variety of native wildlife, including gazelles, red-necked ostriches, and Arabian oryx, as well as distinctive resident and migratory bird species such as the Steppe Eagle. It also serves as a safe haven for several rare and endangered species.

The issuance of this commemorative stamp reflects the environmental and national significance of both the Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve and the King Khalid Royal Reserve. It also highlights the efforts of the Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve Development Authority in managing and developing the two reserves through vegetation restoration, biodiversity conservation, wildlife reintroduction, and the development of eco-tourism destinations. These efforts contribute to achieving environmental sustainability goals and the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
