The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature
The RSCN runs five main reserves in Jordan, and has followed a very successful model pioneered in the Dana Nature Reserve, where the local Bedouin are actively involved in the running and managing of the reserves and developing an excellent eco-tourism infrastructure. As well as protecting areas of beauty, rare animals are also bred in the reserves, such as oryx and ibex.
We are corporate members of the RSCN and promote them wherever we can. Even if you decide not to include a visit to one of their reserves, the excellent Wild Jordan centre in Amman showcases their activities and sells handicrafts from the communities they support. It is also the starting point for our walking tour of Amman.
