Target: His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates
Goal: Advocate for the protection of the Arabian oryx, which was once extinct in the wild but has been reintroduced through conservation efforts.
The Arabian oryx, a stunning and iconic desert antelope, was once extinct in the wild due to overhunting and habitat loss. However, through the dedicated efforts of conservationists, the species has been successfully reintroduced in the Arabian Peninsula. Despite this success, the Arabian oryx is still threatened by habitat destruction, poaching, and illegal hunting.
As a symbol of the UAE’s commitment to conservation, the Arabian oryx deserves to be protected and celebrated. The conservation of this magnificent species not only serves to preserve biodiversity but also has cultural and economic significance for the region.
The protection of the Arabian oryx is essential for the species’ long-term survival. The UAE has made significant strides in conservation efforts and should continue to lead the way in ensuring the protection of this species. The conservation of the Arabian oryx requires a comprehensive approach that includes habitat restoration, strict law enforcement, and community engagement.
In light of the critical need to protect the Arabian oryx, we call on His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to prioritize the conservation and protection of this iconic species. Through this effort, we can ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience the beauty and significance of the Arabian oryx in its natural habitat.
By advocating for the protection of the Arabian oryx, we can preserve biodiversity, cultural heritage, and support the local economy. Demand action to protect the Arabian oryx today.

With a staggering 96 percent of mammalian life on the planet consisting of human beings and our domesticated animals and a staggeringly minimal 4 percent making up wildlife, hunting wildlife period, is WRONG!!! With our numbers going unchecked and out of control I fear there is no hope for any other species or the planet!
