Dibbeen Forest Reserve

Habitat and Species Management Area

Dibbeen Forest Reserve protects a tract of rolling pine oak forest in the Jerash Governorate of northwest Jordan, just south of the Roman ruins of Jerash. Established in 2004 and managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, the reserve covers about 8.5 square kilometers and is one of the last remaining examples of pine oak forest in the Middle East. It shelters at least 17 endangered species, including the Persian squirrel, grey wolves, striped hyenas, and four species of bat. Placed here as Habitat and Species Management Area, a disclosed closest fit: the source states no single IUCN category.
