The reserve also reintroduced several rehabilitated birds, including four steppe eagles, four griffon vultures, a lappet-faced vulture, and four pharaoh eagle owls.

Dr. Mohammed Ali Qurban, CEO of the National Center for Wildlife, shed light on the core objectives of the release program.

He stressed to Arab News that the program's primary mission is to reintroduce endangered local species to their natural habitats.
