VOICED : El arca de Noe arabe

The Arca Árabe, located on a desert island in the UAE, is a natural reserve home to 25 mammal species and 170 bird types. Inspired by Noah's Ark, its goal is to prevent species extinction. Initiated by Sheikh Zayed in 1971, the island was transformed into a reserve. Today, it hosts over 13,000 animals, including giraffes, cheetahs, and the once-endangered oryx. After decades of isolation, the reserve opened to the public six years ago to raise awareness about preserving Earth's flora and fauna.
