The Wildlife Rescue Program is a partnership between the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi and The National Aquarium with a mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release native wildlife in the Abu Dhabi Emirate.
The turtles rescued will be pre-released in our UAE’s Natural Treasures Zone after going through the designed rehabilitation process. When the temperature of the water rises (Which is normally around May) the turtles will be released back into their homes.
When transporting the animals we consider every aspect of the journey in fine detail. Temperature, oxygen supply, length of journey and transport containers are all specified as per the animal’s needs.
