Al Wathba is a huge swathe of land that is home to some of the emirate's prized natural treasures. Part of it, the Al Wathba Wetland Reserve, hosts thousands of flamingoes during autumn and spring — in addition to several species that permanently reside in the area. Fossil dunes from around 120,000 years ago were also found in this protected area.
"Preserving the biodiversity and natural heritage of the emirate is a shared responsibility," the EAD said.
"Let us all adhere to environmental laws and contribute to safeguarding our natural resources for future generations. Together, we can work towards a better environment."
Certain areas in Al Wathba are open to the public but since it's a nature reserve, limited access is granted.
