Wadi Wurayah is located in Hajar Mountains in the Emirate of Fujairah. It is special location that has waterfall and streams around rocky outcrops. This Wadi is 169 sq km area which is rich of different rare species of birds, animals and plants such as Arabian tahr, Arabian leopard, caracal lynx, freshwater fish the garra barreimiea and wild orchid. A team was selected to protect this area after the issuance of a decree through the ruler of Fujairah. The main threats that face the Wadi are hunting wild animals, throwing litter by visitors and over use of water that feeds the Wadi. That’s why many procedures will be followed to protect the area. Firstly, hiring local people to stop hunting rare animals and avoid littering by visitors. Secondly, establishing a visitor center, camping areas and more to organize the visits of people to the area by the municipality. Thirdly, following the WWF international standards, International Union for Conservation of Nature and the United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organizations. Finally, looking for a sponsor to finance the project.
