EAD organised a ceremony to honour the winners of the competition, which was attended by Dr. Shaikha Al Dhaheri, Executive Director of Biodiversity and Marine Biodiversity Sector and Ahmed Baharoon, Executive Director, Environmental Information, Science and Outreach Management.
Dr. Dhaheri said, "The competition is in line with EAD’s efforts to enhance the relationship between the public and nature and to enhance their responsibilities to protect the environment and preserve the Emirate’s natural heritage. We are encouraging photographers to visit Al Wathba Wetland Reserve to capture images reflecting the beauty of the nature.
During the ceremony, EAD also honoured a number of environmental volunteers who contributed to recent environmental activities to increase environmental awareness and highlight the environmental challenges facing the country.
The 5 sq. km. Al Wathba wetland reserve, is located just 45 km southeast of Abu Dhabi Island, and is home to over 250 bird species that depend on this unique ecosystem for nesting, feeding and/or breeding. It provides a safe refuge for many other species of reptiles, small mammals and insects, and is an important area for biodiversity conservation in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
