Abu Dhabi Signs Falconry Heritage Deal
The article discusses the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi and the Japanese "Suo" Falconry Association, aimed at supporting the preservation of ancient falconry traditions and strengthening cultural ties between Abu Dhabi and Japan. The partnership includes developing infrastructure at the association’s training center, which is over 150 years old, and implementing annual cultural exchange programs. These programs will involve training young Emirati falconers in Japanese falconry techniques, in addition to organizing joint workshops and research efforts to promote the preservation of these traditions across generations. Such initiatives contribute to the continuity of the cultural heritage and the health of birds of prey within both communities. Falconry holds a significant place in Abu Dhabi’s national identity; historically, it served as a means of hunting and procuring food, and it has gained wide international efforts for conservation and UNESCO’s recognition as an intangible cultural heritage.
