Saudi Arabia Introduces SR5 Million Fines, Deportation for Major Environmental Offenses

admin
SHARE

The Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture has announced a major initiative to combat environmental violations, introducing fines that can reach up to SR5 million and the possibility of deportation for non-Saudi offenders. These new regulations are designed to tackle and minimize ongoing violations and significant environmental harm within the kingdom.

The amendments specifically target issues like illegal dumping, the discharge of untreated wastewater, and the release of pollutants into natural habitats, underground wells, and aquifers. Additionally, any unauthorized actions involving endangered species—such as illegal trade, hunting, or harming protected wildlife—will face strict penalties under the revised regulations. To ensure these measures are enforced, a specialized environmental court has been set up to deal with cases of environmental misconduct.

Saudi authorities have indicated that offenders will not only incur substantial fines but will also be obligated to rectify the environmental damage they have caused and engage in rehabilitation efforts to restore the affected areas. Those who commit repeated offenses within a year will face even harsher consequences, as authorities emphasize their dedication to environmental sustainability and public health.
