Commenting on the Carnivore Month celebrations, Muna Al Dhaheri, Chief of Conservation and Education at Al Ain Zoo, said, "The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya is one of our key conservation partners based on the fact that both organisations are sharing a common goal of conserving arid lands' biodiversity and the geographical area of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy which falls within Al Ain Zoo's conservation focus."
