"Al Nawader Reserve" An entertainment experience targeting environmental awareness at the Sheikh Zayed Festival
Abu Dhabi, 10 January / WAM / The Sheikh Zayed Festival offers an entertainment experience with educational and cultural objectives to preserve the environment and endangered species, allowing the visiting public to see anecdotes of creatures from animals and plants up close, in an effort to support efforts to raise awareness of sustainable environmental practices.
The festival will host the “Anecdotes Reserve” within the pavilions participating in the third season, which houses rare animals threatened with extinction, in addition to “Al Wathba Jurassic,” which is a park for robotic dinosaurs that was imported from an international film factory and also contains Jurassic “Wool Tree” trees that range in age from 150 to 300 years and have been present on the planet Earth since the age of the dinosaurs.
Jamal Al Balushi, owner of both the reserve and the park, confirmed that his participation in the festival comes within the context of social responsibility to contribute to raising awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability, and to motivate various segments of society, especially the younger generation, to contribute to preserving natural resources and protecting endangered species.
He explained that the idea of establishing the “Anecdotes Reserve” is based on it being an educational and entertainment model at the same time, especially since it embraces creatures of the strangest and rarest species, some of which only one species exists in the world. He pointed out the various activities the reserve provides, such as horse riding, and the Sound of Nature pavilion, which includes several pet species coexisting with each other in one area, where children can learn how to feed and care for animals according to the instructions and under the supervision of an accompanying trainer.
Al Balushi touched on the types of rare living creatures that the reserve displays, such as the Bengal tiger, which is threatened with extinction, the Amur cat, which is considered one of the rarest cats in the world, and the wolfdog.
The first clone of its kind in the world, whose appearance combines the wolf, the dog, the Golden tegu lizard, the rex snake, the Aldabra wild tortoise, which is considered the largest turtle on Earth, the bear cat, the ring-tailed lemur, the Hyacinth macaw, the rhinoceros iguana lizard, the snake-eating osprey, and the male black-necked goose.
The reserve provides its visitors with the pleasure of participating in more than 30 activities, including playing with animals, the Nature Sound Pavilion, a cat lounge, a tropical forest, a squirrel house, a reptile house, feeding domestic and wild livestock, a jungle studio, birds of prey, a forest station, predator viewing, and a turtle playground.
