Saudi Arabia's public prosecution warned on Tuesday of tough new laws to curb damage to the kingdom's nature, including a fine of up to 30,000,000 riyals (nearly $8 million) plus 10 years in prison for harming trees or plants.
The tough new measures come as part of Saudi Arabia's sustainability goals outlined in its ambitious Vision 2030 development plan.
