Abu Dhabi Opens New Wetland Reserve and National Park – Conserving Natural Treasures

Under the auspices of the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD), not only have two wetland reserves been established, but a third is set to open as well. While the Mangrove National Park and Al Wathba Wetland Reserve already provide visitors a chance to view the region’s rich biodiversity, the third eco-reserve known as the Qasr Al Sarab Protected Area is set to give one a chance to learn more about the conservation efforts of indigenous species including the Arabian Oryx.
