Emirates Nature, Fujairah Celebrate Wadi Al Wuraya UNESCO Listing
Wadi Al Oreifah National Park in the United Arab Emirates has been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, making it the first natural site in the country to receive this global recognition. This achievement comes after more than two decades of scientific research and collaboration between the Fujairah Environment Authority and the Emirates Natural History Group, aimed at preserving biodiversity and managing the area sustainably. Scientific efforts, such as monitoring over 1,000 species of living organisms, habitat rehabilitation, and programs to monitor mountainous and aquatic biodiversity, contributed to supporting the nomination. It is a culmination of ongoing efforts since 2006 to enhance the site's international value and protect it for future generations.
