Sharjah nature reserves are not projects for people to walk in, but rather a balanced environment to preserve wild plants, trees, animals, insects and reptiles, to maintain the balance of nature, said Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
In a call to the Direct Line programme, Sheikh Sultan explained that reserves provide a safe haven for endangered species, including birds, insects, and reptiles, and public access could compromise their safety.
He also revealed a new environmental project along Al Dhaid Road, where camels, goats, sheep, and horses will roam freely within a large fenced area, with parking available for visitors to observe.

Sheikh Sultan highlighted the importance of preserving natural treasures, including unique species found only in Sharjah, and called on residents to respect nature.
He reaffirmed his commitment to environmental conservation, which he has pursued since 1972.
Sheikh Sultan also stressed the natural balance within the reserves, where wildlife thrives without external intervention.
