The Wildlife in the UAE
The UAE is home to a range of beautiful animals, but many of them are quickly disappearing and are nearly the last of their kind in the world. In an effort to protect different endangered species, the country has created a number of ways to inform people about the importance of conservation. Our main objective is to consider some of these vulnerable creatures and what we can do to stop them from becoming extinct.

The Wildlife in the UAE
In the past, the Arabian Leopard could be found all over the Arabian Peninsula. However, since the beginning of the 19th century, the leopards’ population has decreased by around 90 percent in Saudi Arabia. It is now believed that that there are 250 or fewer of these leopards in the wild, and they are disappearing fast. The biggest threat to this animal is the loss of its natural home and prey caused by hunting.

The Wildlife in the UAE
Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates the cultural importance and touristic value of these animals. For example, many people visit our beaches every year to study the hawksbill turtles. In addition to attracting tourists, these animals play an important role in preserving the coral reefs by eating sponges which would otherwise prevent the corals from growing. In fact, research shows that one turtle can consume over 454 kilograms of sponges per year, thereby significantly protecting the reefs.
