Al Ain Zoo has received a donation from students at the Dubai International Academy following a two month campaign as part of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme.
During the campaign, the students developed initiatives to assist the zoo in protecting endangered animals. The students coordinated a series of school events where they raised Dh1,500 that were donated to Al Ain Zoo s conservation programme for the Arabian Leopard.
Speaking on the occasion, Muna Al Dhaheri, Chief of Conservation and Education at Al Ain Zoo, said, "Education is a core element of Al Ain Zoo s vision, and it is committed to educational activities and programmes aligned with school curricula in the U.A.E.. The zoo is dedicated to nurturing the future generations of scientists and environmentalists. We are grateful for this wonderful initiative that reflects constant support for our animal conservation efforts." The donation was presented to Ms. Al Dhaheri by Timothy Richardson, Primary School Deputy Principal at Dubai International Academy.
Al Ain Zoo plans to use this money for future education and conservation initiatives which focus on the plight of the Arabian Leopard, and the efforts to save and protect this endangered species.
