Nineteen illegal bird-hunting devices were confiscated by the Fujairah Environment Authority in a recent operation aimed at preserving local wildlife, the authority announced on Saturday.
The authority was alerted by a report from a visitor in the area who noticed suspicious sounds associated with hunting equipment. The individual then alerted the Fujairah Environment Authority through its 24-hour emergency hotline (800368), designed to respond to urgent environmental concerns.
Upon receiving the report, the Biodiversity Team responded, conducting a detailed survey of the area and surrounding sites. This led to the discovery of 19 devices, hidden by unknown individuals in inconspicuous locations, used to attract and hunt birds for personal gain.

As part of its ongoing efforts to safeguard Fujairah's biodiversity, the emirate's environment authority carries out an annual monitoring campaign led by its Biodiversity and Environmental Monitoring and Compliance Team. These campaigns allow the authority to detect and prevent violations that threaten the region's natural resources.
Asila Al Mualla, director of the Fujairah Environment Authority, emphasised the authority's commitment to environmental protection. She noted that the authority is collaborating with local security forces to enforce strict penalties on violators, reinforcing that no leniency will be shown toward those who endanger the emirate's environment and ecological balance.
