What is the Arabian Leopard Fund?

It is a fund established by the Royal Commission for al-Ula in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It specializes in safeguarding the Arabian leopard, improving its chances of survival, and ensuring its ongoing coexistence with its natural prey. The Arabian leopard has been classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as critically endangered and at severe risk.

The number of Arabian leopards classified as critically endangered, according to the IUCN, is estimated to be less than two hundred leopards currently in the wild.

The Arabian Leopard Fund works in coordination with national, regional, and international entities to ensure the survival of Arabian leopards and their habitats, achieving its goals of safeguarding the Arabian leopard and the ecosystems it relies upon.
