Arabian Peninsula Biodiversity

The Arabian Peninsula hosts diverse ecosystems, from deserts and grasslands to mountains and coastal areas. Despite its arid climate, it supports unique plants, animals, and insects adapted to extreme conditions, such as camels, Arabian oryx, and various bird species. Coral reefs along the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf protect vibrant marine life, including colorful fish and coral communities. This biodiversity is vital for ecological balance and local livelihoods, but it faces threats from urbanization, climate change, and resource extraction. Preserving this natural variety is essential for maintaining the region’s environmental health and resilience.
