Program Description

This program aims to build capabilities to monitor Ras Al Khaimah’s existing protected areas and create new protected areas to support all the important and keystone species.

The program is expected to include continuous determination of existing flora and fauna through surveys, reintroduction of locally extinct species and development of protected areas for all resident endangered species. Night-sky protection regulation by the Municipality will also support sensitive areas in the long-term.

In addition to the above, additional or modified aspects of the program may be added upon completion of the environmental strategy exercise to be started in 2024. The strategy exercise will also lay out a roadmap for implementation.
