The goal for road ecology implementation in the area around AlUla, Saudi Arabia is to enhance road safety for humans by reducing existing or potential future collisions with large wild mammals, large livestock species, and large feral species, and to enhance connectivity across roads for large wild mammals, and potentially also smaller wildlife species.
This report documents the results of Dr. Marcel Huijser’s exploratory visit to AlUla. The report formulates potential road ecology strategies for the identified areas, points to research that can support these strategies, recommends measures and supporting research for specific livestock and wildlife issues, and discusses specific maintenance concerns.
