The Saudi Falcons Club brought back to the minds of the Saudis the details of the Bedouin life that the ancestors used to live with their falcons, which lived on the land of the Arabian Peninsula 9 thousand years ago, according to what has been proven by the studies of historians and excavation and archaeologists, as these falcons were a specific good for them in their solution and travel, and in times of prosperity And distress, then they kept this loyalty for her, generation after generation.

The history and the discovered monuments record that falcons played a fundamental role in the kingdom’s civilization, as they guard its sky. Man domesticated them and became a source of livelihood for him, a partner for hunting and food, and an inherited hobby for their children, who are gathered for their great and small love, and also embody the qualities of courage and nobility, as they are sponsored by the kings of the Kingdom. From the founder, King Abdulaziz Al Saud - may God rest his soul - until the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Highness the trustworthy Crown Prince - may God protect them -.

In continuation to this inherent love, the royal decree came to establish the Saudi Falcon Club four years ago, under the supervision of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, where the club gathers falconers under one association, preserves falcons and the heritage hobby, and maintains Events that enhance this renewed legacy.

The life of the desert was not easy, but the falcon was relieving its severity and cruelty, so he was a brave partner who played his role worthily and could be relied upon. This prompted the Saudi Falcons Club to create a program to preserve some of its rare breeds and return them to their original places. The program bore the name “Hadad” It aims to preserve the ecological balance and wildlife, by taking care of its reproduction and limiting the extinction of rare ones.

Within a few months of its launch, the Hadad program achieved remarkable achievements. Since its launch last November, the Saudis have come to participate with their falcons and awarded them to the program. Early this year, 33 falcons were launched in fifteen sites, distributed over eight administrative regions within the Kingdom, and this resulted in the formation of a group. A new natural environment, and a mating occurred between them, producing 60 chicks of the endangered Wakry and Mountain Shaheen falcons.

The program came with the cooperation of members of the local community, in addition to the National Center for Wildlife Development and the Special Forces for Environmental Security, to revive and protect 28 nests (nests) to contribute to their reproduction and provide health care for them, while the Saudi Falcon Club continues its work to launch another group outside the Kingdom in the coming weeks. .
