Reserva forestal de Yarmuk

Reserva forestal de Yarmuk

Establecida en 2010 por la RSCN y ubicada en las colinas que rodean Umm Qais, la Reserva Forestal de Yarmouk es un área protegida conocida por sus robles de hoja caduca, el árbol nacional de Jordania. El paisaje de Yarmouk ofrece una rica diversidad de hábitats para innumerables plantas y animales. Se han registrado más de 16 especies de grandes mamíferos, incluidos el caracal y la gacela de montaña, y el río Yarmouk incluso cuenta con una especie de tilapia endémica. Yarmouk alberga 14% de todas las aves de Jordania, lo que la convierte en un área importante para las aves y un corredor principal para la migración mundial. Para muchas de estas especies, Yarmouk es su última esperanza: el cormorán pigmeo, la cerceta jaspeada, el buitre leonado y el búho pescador pardo están en peligro de extinción a nivel regional o mundial. Actualmente, los bosques constituyen alrededor del 1% de la superficie total de Jordania, lo que significa que los robles de hoja caduca en Yarmouk son más que un paisaje escénico; son un tesoro nacional. Aunque el patrón de su crecimiento no se ve en ningún otro lugar del Reino, estos árboles nacionales de Jordania no estaban en ninguna otra lista de conservación y su supervivencia nacional y regional estaba gravemente amenazada por la tala y el pastoreo excesivo.
