Those who cut down trees from vegetation-covered areas without the proper permits will face the consequences, as the Environmental Security Department made clear through its "X" platform account.

The authorities went on to say that "the penalty for violating the law of cutting, uprooting, transporting, bulldozing, or trading in trees from vegetation cover lands without a license is 20,000 riyals."

The official spokesman for the Special Forces for Environmental Security, Major Abdullah Al-Maroul, previously stated that there is a 20,000 riyal fine for lighting a fire without a stove in protected areas and a 3,000 riyal fine in all areas of vegetation cover in the Kingdom.

During an appearance on the "Ya Hala" show on the "Rotana Khalijiya" channel, the official went on to say that, in addition to the risk of park fires, the destruction and pollution caused by burning vegetation directly on the ground has severe repercussions for vegetation cover.

The consequences for violating these regulations, such as hunting in areas where it is forbidden or without a license, carry fines of 10,000 and 5,000 riyals, respectively.

The SFES made the point that crossing ravines and valleys while they are flowing is a major violation that endangers life and is punishable by a fine of up to 10,000 riyals.

According to the authorities, anyone in the areas of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province can phone 911 to report any instances of environmental or wildlife assault, while the rest of the Kingdom can dial 999. Join Saudi Expatriates channel on imo messenger
