As part of its ongoing efforts to preserve the environment and protect it from illegal practices, the Regional Directorate of the National Agency for Water and Forests in Nador succeeded in arresting three people caught in the act of illegal hunting, on the morning of Sunday, October 26, 2025, inside the Koroko reserve.
During this precise security operation, the assigned elements were able to seize three hunting rifles and a quantity of ammunition, in addition to other tools that were used in hunting. Legal records were prepared against the suspects, with the seizure of the equipment involved in the incident, pending the appropriate judicial procedures. This operation reflects the commitment of the National Agency for Water and Forests to efforts to combat random hunting, which poses a direct threat to the environmental balance within natural reserves. The agency also constantly seeks to protect ecological diversity and ensure the sustainability of wildlife. A responsible source explained that these steps come within the context of protecting the natural wealth in the Kingdom, where the agency works to address all practices that harm the environmental systems, in order to preserve the diverse components of nature. On the other hand, the Regional Directorate of the Agency confirmed that combating illegal hunting is a strategic priority, aiming to preserve endangered species and the sustainability of environmental reserves, which reflects the Kingdom's commitment to protecting its natural resources.
