Sharjah Airport Accepted One Of The Most Extraordinary Deliveries You’ll Ever See

Protected areas, which form 4.6% of the area of Sharjah, have laws and legislation regarding environmental protection and development. 

The Elebriddi wildlife protected area is one of nine protected areas in Sharjah and earlier this month, Elebriddi welcomed almost 300 wild animals to the fold.

According to Wam.ae, the following animals have joined the Elebriddi family: 15 giraffe, 5 rhino, 16 gemsbok, 12 waterbuck, 12 eland, 8 black wildebeest, 24 blue wildebeest, 36 impala, 10 lechwe, 8 nyala, 26 kudu, 42 springbok, 8 reedbuck, 8 red hartebeest, 12 blesbuck, 6 klipspringer and 4 grey duiker.

The animals will make the Elebriddi wildlife protected area in Al Dhaid their new home

Following their arrival into Sharjah airport, the animals were transported to the Al Dhaid area.

Fortunately, the Emirates has a reputation for conserving endangered species, a reputation which supported a smooth shipping process and international approvals for the arrival of the animals.

“Sharjah has a proven leading position in wildlife protection and environment efforts.

“The EPAA strives to protect endangered species and their habitats is an effort to maintain biodiversity. The addition of these animals to the protected areas and centres will greatly assist with our ongoing conservation efforts.”

“Through our continued efforts, we are striving to conserve many species of animals and birds, and create breeding areas in the protected habitats in accordance with the UAE regulations.

“In addition, we aim to highlight the importance of the protection of wildlife and raise awareness among the community members on wildlife, and the protection of nature and endangered species.”
