Jordan marks Aqaba Marine Heritage listing
UNESCO has listed the Aqaba Marine Protected Area in Jordan as a World Heritage Site, due to its exceptional environmental characteristics and unique biodiversity, especially its ability to adapt to rising temperatures and climate challenges. This designation is an international acknowledgment of the ecological importance of the region, which includes over 150 species of corals and 500 species of fish, making it one of the most significant ecosystems in the Red Sea. This achievement results from ongoing national efforts led by King Abdullah II and the implementation of long-term conservation strategies. It also reflects Jordan's commitment to preserving the site through sustainable management and comprehensive environmental monitoring, with an emphasis on fostering regional and international cooperation to protect the biodiversity of the Gulf of Aqaba.
