of Nature conducted a survey at

The report also highlights the strong correlation between
golf courses and their significance as important bird habitats. Scientific
research has shown that Aqaba's eco-friendly approach to managing these green
spaces positively impacts the local bird population.
It documents the registration of endangered species,
including the Little Grebe, the Great Spotted Eagle, and the Rock Pigeon. It
also identifies species approaching global threatened status, such as the
Syrian Serin and the Red-rumped Swallow, along with one critically endangered
species, the Lappet-faced Vulture.
Furthermore, the society provides valuable data on nesting
and reproduction, including sightings of Green-winged Teals and Rufous-tailed
Scrub Robins. It also monitors two bird species, the House Crow and the
Egyptian Goose, along with their offspring. The report concludes by mentioning
the presence of the Myna bird, known for its environmental impact and
significant local and regional expansion.
