The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature has been working since its establishment in 1966 on the protection of natural resources from regression and the environment from pollution. Over seven natural reserves have been established throughout the past 30 years, They are the Shomari reserve, Azraq reserve, Zoubia reserve, Wadi Moujeb reserve, Wadi Rum reserve, Dana reserve and Aqaba marine reserve. Public awareness programs such as Afforestation and the control of hunting are made to ensure the protection of Jordan's most valuable natural resources.
