NCW Announces Launch of Falcon Registration Initiative in Saudi Arabia

The National Center for Wildlife (NCW), in collaboration with the Saudi Falcons Club, launched the Falcon Registration Initiative today for undocumented falcons, in alignment with the Environment Law and its implementing regulations. The initiative is facilitated through the ownership certificate issuance service on the “Futri” platform.
 This initiative comes as part of national efforts to regulate wildlife activities, formally document falcon ownership through the issuance of ownership certificates, safeguard owners’ rights, and promote responsible falconry practices. It also reinforces efforts to conserve wildlife and biodiversity.
 NCW published guidelines for applications to be submitted at the Saudi Falcons Club headquarters in Malham, where the club will receive requests from Saturday to Wednesday, between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
 The initiative does not include falcons or falcon products that have been seized or recovered due to violations of the Environment Law and its regulations, nor those handed over before the start date of the initiative.
 NCW urged all falcon owners to visit the “Futri” platform and the official accounts of both NCW and the Saudi Falcons Club to review the requirements, conditions, and procedures, and to benefit from the initiative during the specified period. The center stressed that compliance with the Environment Law is a shared responsibility that contributes to preserving the environment and achieving sustainability goals.
