Al Ain Zoo kicked off an interactive themed month this September to celebrate Carnivores, with a special focus on African Lions, Wild Dogs, Spotted Hyenas, and Servals.
Commenting on the Carnivore Month celebrations, Muna Al Dhaheri, Chief of Conservation and Education at Al Ain Zoo, said, "The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya is one of our key conservation partners based on the fact that both organisations are sharing a common goal of conserving arid lands' biodiversity and the geographical area of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy which falls within Al Ain Zoo's conservation focus." As part of Carnivore Month celebrations, the zoo welcomed Geoffrey Chege, Chief Conservation Officer of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. In 2003, Al Ain Zoo signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Lewa Wildlife Conservancy forming a partnership aimed at building the capacity for conservation at Al Ain Zoo through supporting the conservation work of arid land biodiversity in Kenya.
Commenting on the visit, Al Dhaheri, Chief of Conservation and Education at Al Ain Zoo, said, "We are pleased to welcome Geoffrey Chege at the Zoo. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is one of our key conservation partners and this visit comes in line with our commitment to conserving arid land species in addition to the geographical area of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy which falls within Al Ain Zoo's conservation focus."
