The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) was established by the late King Hussein with the mission of helping to conserve the biodiversity of Jordan and to integrate its conservation programs with socio-economic development in the surrounding communities. At the same time, the RSCN's charge is to help promote wider public support for the protection of the natural environment within Jordan and in neighboring countries.
Petra Moon Tourism Services is the leading tour operator in Jordan in partnership with
the RSCN. We can help you arrange a variety of adventure programs, educational tours and handicraft workshops.

Azraq is a unique wetland located in the heart of the arid Jordanian desert. It contains several pools, a seasonally flooded marshland, and a large mudflat. A wide variety of birds visit the reserve each year, either stopping for a short rest on their long migration between Africa and Europe; or they stay for the winter and some breed in the wetland.
With international support, a rescue effort started in 1994 and a significant portion of the wetland has been restored. Many of the birds for which the oasis was renowned are coming back and special boardwalks and bird hides have been constructed to enable visitors to see and enjoy them. It is 12 square kilometers in size. TOP
Created as a breeding centre for endangered or locally extinct wildlife, the Shumari Reserve is home to some of the rarest species of animals in the Middle East. In this small 22 Km2 reserve, you can often see the Arabian Oryx roaming freely in the desert grassland. Ostriches, Gazelles, and Onagers can also be observed in their enclosures. Shumari's breeding enclosures provide a small "zoo" for visitors, making the reserve a popular spot for children and school outings. These animals are rebuilding their populations in this safe haven, protected from the hunting and habitat destruction that nearly wiped them out. TOP
