In 1966, when he became Ruler of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed created the Association for Animal Welfare. This group of dedicated rangers patrolled the deserts to ensure the ban on hunting wildlife was respected. Today, these rangers, under the mandate of the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi, still carry on Sheikh Zayed’s direction by actively patrolling the Emirate’s protected areas.
Sheikh Zayed remained persistent in his efforts in falconry and conservation. Of significance in this respect was his initiative to organise the first World Conference on Falconry and Conservation in Abu Dhabi in 1976, which for the first time, brought together falconers from North America, Europe, the Far East and Arabia. The conference was the launching pad for a strategy that has completely transformed the world of falconry to this day. It brought falconers into the mainstream of emerging conservation efforts. It was at this time that captive-bred falcons from Europe first began to appear in Arabia, launching a trend that today sees most UAE falconers choosing captive-bred birds for preference, thus reducing the off-take from wild stocks. Today, falconry is on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Following the establishment of the country, Sheikh Zayed was able to ensure that his concern for conservation took on a nation-wide approach. He issued the necessary legislation and established conservation organisations, including the Emirates Falconers' Club - still operating today - as well as houbara breeding centres in Abu Dhabi and the Kingdom of Morocco.
In the early 1980s, he also established a small falcon hospital in Al Khazna, outside of Abu Dhabi. This was later followed in 1999 by the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, supported by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi, which is today the largest falcon hospital in the world and a leader in avian medicine.
In the realm of species protection, Sheikh Zayed was the first to encourage action on the threats posed to birds and animals species. He set in motion a wide variety of programmes designed to protect the species. One of these programmes was the Houbara Breeding Programme, which began in Al Ain Zoo in 1977 and saw the first hatch in 1982. In 1989, he directed that the National Avian Research Center establish a breeding programme for the Asian Houbara, which produced over 200 birds in 2004. The long-term objective, determined by Sheikh Zayed himself, was to produce 10,000 of Asian Houbara a year, most to be released to supplement wild stocks.
In Morocco, in 1995, he set up the Emirates Centre for Wildlife Propagation to breed North African Houbara for release into the wild. In Pakistan, he supported the establishment of the Houbara Foundation International, which has helped reduce illegal trapping. Today, Abu Dhabi’s Houbara programme is managed by the International Fund for Houbara Conservation (IFHC), a global organisation continuing the work of Sheikh Zayed through a holistic conservation programme for the Houbara bustard. IFHC now produces over 50,000 Houbara a year and works with countries across the species’ range to release birds and promote sustainable practices.
By 1995, Sheikh Zayed managed to transform the use of falcons from wild to captive-bred, and by 2002, the use of captive-bred falcons in falconry was widespread, making the UAE the first country in the region to do so. NARC has also developed a falcon captive breeding programme to reduce the pressure on the wild stock.
There is Global recognition of his efforts through international accolades such as the Environment and Development Award (1993), FAO Award for Agricultural Development (1995), and WWF Golden Panda Award (1997). As well as a top award from the French government for combating desertification (1998), the UNESCO Environment Chair, the Arab League Scarf for Development and several others.
In 1998, after he observed the successful breeding of the flamingo for the first time at Al Wathba Wetland Reserve, he established the site as a protected area, to be managed under the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi. Thanks to his belief in conservation, today this is the only site in the UAE where flamingos continue to breed regularly, and the Reserve has become an internationally recognised wetland around the world as well as a popular sustainable tourism destination locally. Moreover, today there are 19 terrestrial and marine protected areas in the Emirate under the Sheikh Zayed Protected Areas Network, and they benefit from the highest level of legal protection. EAD continues to be responsible for managing this network, which today represents 15.43% of the Emirate’s terrestrial environment and 13.45% of its marine environment.
