Protecting Wadi Rum
 We
need the help of all visitors to make our efforts to protect Wadi
Rum successful
Wadi Rum is a very beautiful and special place but it faces some
challenging environmental problems. The growing pressure from visitors,
and especially from off-road vehicles, is damaging the fragile desert
ecology. There is also a problem of littering and the loss of wildlife
through illegal hunting.
A major conservation programme is underway to tackle these problems,
including zoning schemes, organized vehicle routes, better tourist
information and the creation of a team of conservation rangers to
patrol the area. At the same time we need the help of all visitors
to make our efforts to protect Wadi Rum successful. If you are planning
to visit this unique protected area, please follow the rules
and regulations and do all you can to respect the site and its
people
