The camp, said Dr Fox, would support falconrys place on Unescos list. We will have achieved what we promised Unesco in our action plan to bring back sustainable hunting. This can be a model for the future.
We can establish more areas in the country which can be managed long-term for sustainable hunting, which will benefit our young people.
The festival also aims to promote falconry worldwide, as well as to increase ties to the international community, said Abdullah Al Qubaisi, the festivals director. The camp is an opportunity for making acquaintances and exchanging experiences between Emirati and international falconers, he said.
There are thought to be 5,000 falconers living in the UAE.
