The collared dove is observed in a number of natural and agricultural environments in the Jazan region, benefiting from the diversity of habitats it hosts, reflecting the richness of its biodiversity.

The collared dove is one of the most widespread dove species in open and agricultural environments, characterized by a black collar at the back of its neck and grayish-brown feathers. It feeds on grains and seeds and is regularly seen in trees, farms, gardens, and parks.

The geographical location of the Jazan region, overlooking the Red Sea, along with its diverse terrain encompassing coasts, islands, plains, valleys, and highlands, has contributed to creating suitable natural habitats for the settlement of many bird species, thereby enhancing wildlife and supporting biodiversity in the region.

Environmental protection and vegetation conservation efforts contribute to the sustainability of natural resources and the preservation of biodiversity, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

The spread of the collared dove in Jazan's natural environments confirms the region's integrated environmental components, making it one of the richest areas in the Kingdom in terms of wildlife and biodiversity.
