The Special Forces have urged the public to cooperate by reporting any environmental or wildlife violations. Residents in the Makkah and Riyadh regions should call 911, while those in other parts of Saudi Arabia can use 999 or 996.
In a related development, the Special Forces recently apprehended two Sudanese individuals in Jeddah for environmental pollution. These individuals were found burning industrial waste to extract copper, which not only polluted the environment but also damaged the soil. The burning of industrial waste was conducted illegally.
Furthermore, the Special Forces have emphasized that engaging in activities that cause soil damage or pollution could result in a severe fine of up to SR10 million. This penalty is imposed for actions that either directly or indirectly harm soil quality, its use, or its natural properties.
