WNAM REPORT: Ma’ila National Park in the Northern Borders region, spanning more than 25 million sq. meters, is undergoing major development to become a key natural destination.
Led by the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification, the project promotes sustainable environmental development.
The park has seen extensive ecosystem rehabilitation and expansion of vegetation cover in recent years, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.
Infrastructure is being developed, including buildings, water networks, in excess of 50 seating areas, and more than five restroom facilities to improve visitor services.
Key environmental work includes seed dispersal, planting native species and restoring natural vegetation. The park hosts diverse plant life such as sidr, acacia, ghada, didhan, chrysanthemum and other pasture species.
A regulated grazing system has been introduced to support ecological balance and soil regeneration. It is also being developed as an eco-investment project, with opportunities across sites and ongoing work to finalize development and operation contracts.
These efforts aim to boost tourism, improve services and ensure long-term sustainability, positioning the park as a major destination in the region.
