NCVC Secures 500 RFID Devices to Monitor Livestock, Protect Rangelands

The National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification (NCVC) announced today in a press release that it has acquired 500 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices to scan livestock microchips in various regions of the Kingdom, as part of its efforts to increase its capabilities and utilize the latest technology to track and manage registered livestock.
According to the release, these devices will play a vital role in gathering comprehensive data on livestock in the Kingdom.
Field inspectors, the release said, will be able to identify violators by accessing crucial information, including ownership records, veterinary histories, and other key data. This measure will help safeguard rangelands from unregulated grazing, promote environmental sustainability, and bolster NCVC's mission of preserving the vegetation cover and regulating grazing activities in protected rangeland areas.
NCVC's overarching goal is to improve the quality of rangeland, increase the vegetation cover, and create an optimal environment for the growth of annual and grazing plants.
The center aims to improve the capacity of rangelands to support more livestock by identifying tagged animals and providing accurate data on the numbers, breeds, species, and geographic distribution of camels.
According to NCVC, it is committed to developing, protecting, and monitoring vegetation, rehabilitating degraded lands, and addressing violations.
The center oversees the protection of rangelands, forests, and national parks, contributing to sustainable development and improving the overall quality of life.
