First Successful Falcon Breeding Carried out in Northern Borders Region

The first falcon breeding program in the Northern Borders Region has been successfully carried out under the supervision of the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture's regional branch.

 This breeding process is an integral part of a larger falcon breeding project aimed at regulating the breeding of key falcon breeds.

 The breeding took place at a falcon farm located within the Sultan Falcon Care Center in Arar, Northern Borders Region. The farm houses three types of falcons: Saker, Gyrfalcon, and Peregrine. The breeding efforts yielded positive results, particularly for the Saker falcon pairs, producing a total of 20 eggs, of which five were fertilized.

 During an inspection of the falcon breeding process, Eng. Bandar bin Saleh Al-Hadiyah, the director of the ministry's Northern Borders branch, toured the breeding and production facilities, and met with the center's director Saad Malouh Al-Anazi, and the staff, including falcon breeding specialists.

 Al-Hadiyah highlighted the readiness of the technical and veterinary staff to provide support and assistance through the ministry's affiliated veterinary clinics and laboratories.
