Massive Saudi Project Near Paris

An agreement between France and Saudi Arabia will see the construction of three theme parks on a 200-hectare site near Paris, costing 6 billion euros and providing employment for 22,000 people. However, there are concerns about the project's environmental impact.

The project site is located on the edge of the Vexin françois, a natural area of 71,000 hectares that is home to many protected species. France loses around 82,000 hectares of agricultural land to urbanization every year, which is why there are concerns about the project's environmental effects.
