In a significant move aligning with Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve announced the establishment of the Middle East’s pioneering all-female sea ranger corps just ahead of World Ranger Day. The corps, dedicated to protecting the Red Sea coastline’s diverse ecosystems, marks a milestone in promoting gender equity in conservation roles and environmental preservation in the region. With 34% female representation in the force, the recruitment campaign’s message of inclusivity has driven the diversification of the ranger corps. The female sea rangers, trained rigorously for a year, demonstrate the kingdom’s commitment to empowering women in critical environmental stewardship roles.
