Executing a Monumental Wildlife Rescue

Environmental teams executed a monumental rescue operation in the South Sharqiyah Governorate. Specialists successfully returned 57,744 baby sea turtles safely to the ocean. They also rescued 201 adult turtles during the month of September. The Environment Department continuously protects these fragile marine ecosystems. Experts monitor vital nesting sites at the Ras Al Hadd Turtle Reserve daily.

Relying on Community Awareness

Nizar bin Salem Al Fannah Al Araimi directs the local environmental department. He stressed the absolute importance of community awareness in protecting local wildlife. Nearly 100 dedicated volunteers participated in the successful September protection efforts. These volunteers guided tourists and cleaned dangerous debris from the sandy beaches. Protecting turtles requires constant vigilance throughout the entire year.
