The two sides have been successfully documenting
more than 100 bird species over the past eight years, some of which are
endangered both domestically and globally.
The Aqaba Bird Observatory, operated by the
Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN), documented more than 100 species
of birds in the various environments of Ayla, including several species never
before seen in Jordan. They included the pygmy cormorant, striated heron,
oystercatcher, and lesser white-fronted goose.
Ayla CEO Sahel Dodin emphasized the significance of
the company’s productive partnership with the RSCN, which boosted Ayla’s
standing as a unique and sustainable ecotourism destination.
Fadi Al-Nasser, the RSCN’s acting director-general,
said the cooperation was a good example of a true partnership with private
sector institutions to protect and preserve the natural heritage.
