UAE & The Enviroment

Another step is that the UAE made another progress in the fields of environmental protection and wildlife management on their lands. The evidence for this progress is to be seen almost everywhere, one looks in the Emirates, from the widespread improvements in environmental controls to the impressive wildlife breeding, conservation and public display projects. The fact that, after one decade of careful study and habitat development, the greater flamingo finally bred successfully in Abu Dhabi during the winter of 1998–99, the first confirmed breeding of this species in the UAE and the first confirmed breeding anywhere on the mainland of the Arabian Peninsula, is much more than an ornithological achievement.
