Sharjah, on September 22/ WAM/ The “Sharjah Safari” of the Environmental and Natural Reserves Authority in Sharjah opened its fifth season with the announcement of the fifth birth of the African Savanna elephant, in addition to the birth of twins from the elapse lemur, in an achievement that enhances the project efforts in the field of preserving biological diversity at the level of the region and the world.

The African savanna elephant is one of the largest wild mammals in the world, and its reproduction in the “Sharjah Safari” is an indication of the success of biological propagation programs and advanced veterinary care, while the birth of the lemur twins, classified among the endangered and settler organisms on the island of Madagascar, adds a quality that reflects the integrated safari environment.

During the second quarter of 2025, the “Sharjah Safari” witnessed the birth of 184 newborn births and mammals, thus increasing the numbers of species that it embraces to 151 species, including giraffes, black, elephants, and the rhinoceros, along with a number of rare birds, in a clear indication of the environmental balance provided by the project.

His Excellency Saif Al -Suwaidi, Chairman of the Environment and Natural Reserves Authority in Sharjah, stressed that these achievements embody the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, in making the emirate a global center for the protection of biological diversity and the preservation of innate life.

She said that new births reflect the success of the authority’s plans in protecting endangered species and contributes to strengthening the environmental sustainability system, and confirms the pioneering role played by Sharjah regionally and internationally in the field of wildlife preservation.

The “Sharjah Safari” offers its visitors an exceptional experience that mimics the environment of the African continent, through educational and recreational tours between open natural spaces, allowing them to get to know closer wildlife and rare scenes such as the birth of elephants and lemon.

The project is an educational and research platform that contributes to raising environmental awareness among visitors, especially children and students, through awareness programs that establish concepts of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
