Houbara Bustards Summary

The houbara bustards are a North African endangered bird species. Their numbers have decreased significantly in a few decades due to hunting and the destruction of their habitats. The Abu Dhabi Government are financing a Wildlife Propagation center in Morocco which preserves and produce these birds. The centre has some "plans to expand the release efforts to 15,000 birds per season..." (Todorova, V. 2011). During spring which is the breeding seasAreopagus to 600 sperm samples are produced, which are then tested according to standards. The eggs hatch after 24 days from being laid, of which 10% will be used for breeding and the rest will be set in the wild. Chicks are released in two batches in wide areas in eastern and southern Morocco, except in the hunting season in autumn. Scientists monitor the birds regularly whom after a year of their release only 65% of them survive.

Preserving Emirati Traditions

According to students, academics, and experts it is important to preserve the traditional Emirati sports in order to protect the national identity of the
       UAE. It is important to spread awareness of traditional lifestyle, between the youth, and the traditional sports like falconry and Arabian Saluki hunting.
Schools and universities take part of the blame in the lack of awareness in those traditions. It is vital to educate the young Emiratis about the past
 because it represents the national identity. Young Emiratis of today will forget all about there tradition, unless their parents or schools educated them
  about it. They must learn that in the past these traditional sports were a part of survival. Once there is a focus on heritage and tradition it will never be
forgotten, and there will always be someone who will carry it on.
