Sharjah Ruler: Nature reserves must be protected

His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, called on residents to respect nature preserves, highlighting the need to protect the unique species of the Emirate.

The Sharjah leader added the reserves are a balanced environment to preserve wildlife, as opposed for people to walk in.

In a call to the "Direct Line" programme, Sheikh Sultan explained that reserves provide a safe haven for endangered species, including birds, insects, and reptiles, and public access could compromise their safety.

He also announced a new environmental project along Al Dhaid Road, where camels, goats, sheep, and horses will roam freely within a large fenced area, with parking available for visitors to observe.

The Sharjah Ruler highlighted the importance of preserving natural treasures, including unique species found only in Sharjah, and called on residents to respect nature.

Sheikh Sultan also stressed the natural balance within the reserves, where wildlife thrives without external intervention.
