State initiates migratory bird protections
The United Arab Emirates continues its efforts to protect migratory birds through the establishment of protected areas, monitoring programs, and international agreements. The UAE hosts approximately two million migratory birds annually, thanks to its location along the African-Asian migration route. It is working to enhance natural habitats and rehabilitate 80% of degraded areas as part of its National Biodiversity Strategy 2031. Additionally, the Ministry launched a project for the Red List of endangered species, which includes 459 bird species. The network of protected areas has been expanded to 54 reserves, covering 19.08% of the country's territory, with the goal of providing safe and sustainable environments for these birds during their migration.
