Conclusion
Jordan’s biological resources, by now nearly non-existent, were potentially rich and varied, and they have been proven to be subject to both conservation and restoration. Over the past 30 years, Jordan has engaged in attempts to conserve it biological resources through establishment of nature reserves. In so doing, it has evolved an unusual approach by empowering and relying on a private conservation organization, the RSCN, to do many of those things government generally does in other countries. Though unorthodox, the approach seems to be working and has much to commend it.
