Abu Dhabi's refuge for endangered species | DW Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- The Arabian oryx is a beautiful, almost luminously white antelope. But, after being over-hunted by humans in the 20th century, it only narrowly escaped extinction. Today, on the desert island of Sir Bani Yas, the endangered animals find refuge.
Part of an archipelago west of Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas is home to a large wildlife reserve, where animals from Arabia, Asia and Africa roam freely. You can watch cheetahs hunting, and imagine how the Bedouins once lived, under open desert skies.
Established in the 1970s, extensive ecological measures turned Sir Bani Yas into a man-made "paradise for wild animals." Now, the reserve stands for the region’s desire for a sustainable future. It’s also a great place to see the magnificent Arabian oryx running free, once more.

being an Indian......
Greetings! Thank you for your kind words and for watching!
1991 to 1995, the UAE government took many animals from Somalia and East Africa. The UAE is a desert country and they have no animals. Thieves companies took from Somalia the animals of many types.
Great UAE 🇦🇪 to protect & conserve the "world of animals " in a natural way. This island looks a mini Africa.
Respect from Pakistan to UAE and Germany
There's no bad content that was brought by DW.. Salute DW..
Thank you for your kind comment! We're glad you like our content. :-)
Very true
@@DWDocumentary I was mesmerized by your documentary. It’s a world I have a lot of questions about and know nothing about with the exception of what I see in the news. It made me want to visit.
Women will never be safe in that country.
@@twistoffate4791 no bullshit pls
I never thought that a national symbol can be shared by different countries. It is really interesting how the UAE, Jordan, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain share the same national animal.
It is not rare. Both Vietnam and India adopted the lotus as the National flower. Singapore and Thailand also have the orchid as the national symbol. Just to name a few.
it's actually not that rare. a lot of countries have falcon or eagle as their national bird.
Un south america many countries share the condor in their national shields
@Heartthrob Goswamy what is wrong with you man. Why so much hate??
@Heartthrob Goswamy India has 💩 and 🐮 💦 as national dish
Breath of fresh air midst all the wars and violence in middle east. Thank you dw for such a wonderful journey
I truly enjoyed it and created a special playlist for travel destinations based on it.
Absolutely excellent from beginning to end! Visually stunning and excellent production. I was enchanted from the first minute to the last minute! 10/10
Thanks for your positive feedback! Glad to hear you liked the film. :-)
Thank you DW for showing me how the Emirates & Shak have been saving so many endangered species on Sir Bani Yas 🏝🏜🕌🌞☀🛵🚌🛺🚓🚓🚗♑☪
Really enjoy how the creators of this documentary did not "get in the way" of the content, this was such an enjoyable watch, the people of the UAE are blessed with some incredibly selfless leaders who really care about their country and the blessings being passed onto the next generation
Big thanks to whole DW team. You bring the best documentaries for free of cost.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
1991 to 1995, the UAE thieves companies took many animals from Somalia and East Africa. The UAE is a desert country and they have no animals. Thieves companies took from Somalia the animals of many types.
This is probably funded by UAE so it's not free
Hail to H E Shaikh Zayed. I wish all the best to this fascinating eco friendly island. Love from India.
DW has the best quality documentaries 👏👏👏
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear you like our films. :-)
@@aljoseph8053 thy appreciate it
Thank you for saving these beautiful animals instead of killing them, God bless you all.
Very disappointed in the comments here. Why such hatred against the UAE? It has done amazingly well for somewhere that was just a desert. They have the right to dictate how they live and they honestly provide a great quality of life for a place that doesn't have income tax. If you want to be mad about how Indians and Philippinos get less salaries here, then maybe be mad about why rich rulers of India and Philippines don't take care of their own citizens. That being said, it's constantly improving
Many expats want to build this country more. I hope they give citizenship to who deserves it
At what cost? Slavery?
People are mostly very negative. They do not realize or not accepting that UAE helped millions of people worldwide by giving employment to them so they can take good care of their families. I'm sure some employer are mean to their workers but they should not blame ALL UAE citizens are mean to their employees.
@@nepal-everyday slavw should nor come betyer ask their regime to provide food for them instead roaming here and hijda modi can't feed its people despite claiming somekind of vigg economy?
@@nepal-everyday Not sure why you point fingers at a supply-demand market for expatriates when superpowers like America refuse to raise the minimum wage for their own naturalized citizens. I do agree that they sometimes receive a salary that is very hard to live with. But this applies to all other nations, especially the nations where the workers come from that should not force its own citizens to go abroad and work for a measly salary so their family at home doesn't starve. The source of the problem is the home country in my opinion
However, yes, it has a lot of progress it still needs to make. But for a 49 year old country? Amazing. Absolutely amazing
Kudos to DW for such riveting documentaries.
Lp
Waaaoooooo what a fantastic management I salute to all team and also the Royal family of UAE🙏
Outstanding documentary Thank you DW.
Thanks for your comment. :)
The UAE is a beautiful and lovely nation and what the government did transforming a desert into a rapidly growing and evolving country is astonishing, and this inactive of developing a safe and protected sanctuary of endangered animals that could otherwise been porched and killed for profit making by hunters is a notable deed.
@Ghost Ghost that off topic dude
@Ghost Ghost why is it a dictatorship? It prioritizes its ethnic nationals over everyone else. Sounds to me like they're looking out for their own survival
@@___________2204
so why you cry about Isreal and say it It prioritizes its ethnic nationals over everyone else ?
hypocrite
@@___________2204 they lock up and kidnap their Women too
@@bodweenalex8645 HAHAHA Judaism is not an ethnicity habibi. Let's see what you do to Ethiopian Jews. You are white supremacists from Europe. Period
Yes abudhabi is the best city in the world. Peace, security and stability.👍🥰🥰🥰🇦🇪
So much education and insight into all walks of life around the world. Thank you DW Docs!
super cool turning a barren desert into a beautiful wild life oasis good job out there guys keep up the good work
الله يعز الامارات و شعبها و شيوخها 🇸🇦❤️🇦🇪
DW delivers again.
Now if they would treat their woman as free and equal to the space and luxury they flaunt.
Wow, that falcon doctor is getting more experience than a hundred exotic animal veterinarians. I think they said that there were 11,000 falconers in the area? I tell you what, if you got a sick or injured falcon, and you want the best, you need this lady!
So true. I would love to learn more about her work

Thank You Deutsche Welle Team. It would be great to make a documentary in Azerbaijan.
Yes!
Thank you DW for informing the people!DW team is exquisite!!!
UAE is a tyrannical state that has jailed and killed tens of thousands of people in secret prisons.
Please don't promote this evil regime.
@@ramatgan1 there are many secrets we do not know...but hidden prisons killing people is absolutely inhumane and it should be stopped 😢
@Mr Wonder 🙂
Nice documentary

Hi @Tahsin M., we are glad you like our content :) thank you for always sharing your feedback!
What a great documentary! Despite being about Sir Bani Yas it brought back so many memories of Abu Dhabi for me. I spent nearly twenty years of my life there and would go back tomorrow if I could. It's the one place in my life that I miss above all others. Thanks DW!
That aquarium is pretty amazing
THE ARAB WORLD BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY VERY PROGRESSIVE ABU DHABI
Thank Sheik Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan the greatest leader to have ever walk on earth.

Good work. Keep it up. All the best.
The game ranchers of Texas deserve credit for saving this beautiful animal.
Good 0f them to come up with a law that prohibits keeping wild cats and other exotic animals as pets.
cheetah/hyena be like: im living the life bro, unli supply of food.
The cheetah in the beginning seemed very thin
I wonder which endangered species these cheetah get to feast upon nonstop

What a fiery music and soigné sheikhs, wow. The country is really magic.
Outstanding episodes
Excellent!!!
Wow! I am impressed...
2:10 The music, song here is Alihan Samedov Sen Gelmez Oldun
So basically, falcons are an instrumental part of a family. I hope they get treated like such. Loved this piece DW.
Dw, u neva stop amusing me with yo captivating educational n eye catching videos. Honestly, u lead in this thing n others follow
"Walk so that you may leave good footprints behind" exactly what was done here by the 'Founding father'
Definitely hope they start an asiatic cheetah and lion population
Asiatic cheetahs are extinct
Such an elegant looking animal.
This Documentary cost UAE $10 million
Fabulous documentary right here!
Hi @Celathian Aaron, thank you for watching!
@DW Documentary thank you also 🙏
Those are some beautiful healthy looking animals.
Correction: Etihad is the Arabic word for "Union". Which is a major theme of both the Emirates' Federal and Local Government, uniting the 7 monarchies into a constitunal federation, uniting it's diverse citizens of Beduin and Hadraite (Urbanised) Arabs, Belouchi, 'Eyams and Persian into one nationality, entities uniting for one common goal, etc... The Arabic word community on the other hand is "Mujtam'â" مجتمع
Amazing video and a great place to visit.
fascinating! loved it
Wow! Thank you for this one 🤗✌️🇨🇦
Niceee, using the Armenian duduk . Beautiful music
i'm am of no Religion but the call of Muslim prayer sounds great even beautiful. i sometimes wonder what missing from my life maybe Muslim Faith ?
Absolutely not. They actually stole this idea from Eastern Orthodox Christianity anyway.
Amazing documentary
great thinking and great minds to protect the endangered species but water is so important to sustain the living both human and animal kingdom.
Nice that you chose ellisa's song in this documentary.
The editor has a nice taste of songs
This is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! Thanks, DW!
UAE is a tyrannical state that has jailed and killed tens of thousands of people in secret prisons.
Please don't promote this evil regime.
Assuming all these animals co-exist together and can thrive in this harsh environment.
If they cant ill have to intervene
Yes, like they do in Africa. Lion, cheetahs, giraffes, buffalos, and wildebeest all sitting around the campfire, holding hands and singing kumbaya.
@@SlazeM7 Lmao...I spit my coffee out 😂😂😂😂
The Giraffes are absolutely beautiful!!
Professional job from Sir bani Yas folks , next step is to do some of this professional terraforming activities into mainland , focus all the resources on creating vast forested areas into arabian peninsula, this would be a action to be remembered not the manufacturing of a ski center in the desert or numerous skyscrapers and all this capitlistic nonsenses.Emirates people are clever and rich they should use these means to make their country break the real unbeatable record , that of creating a selfsastainable habitat in the desert.
1-actually sheikh zayed other sustainable projects than sir bani yas island is to build a forest between Abu Dhabi and Dubai made from ghaf tree( the national tree of UAE) and to your information the ghaf tree is highly protected in the UAE you are not allowed to cut it , transfer it anywhere if there is road construction it would have to go around the tree !
2- in Dubai sheikh mohammed bin Rashed declared that 10% of Dubai land area to erected as wild life dessert sanctuary
notably as al marmoom wild life sanctuary within it there is the Quadra lakes its an area that is being planted by local dessert trees like ghaf and samr( acacia) sidr( christ thorn) in hatta in Dubai there is a mountain sanctuary where the Arabian ibex is being protected
3- in sharjah there whole land areas of deserts being planted with local Arabian plant species, in Sharjah there is sea, desert, plains, and mountain sanctuaries with 5 learning centres about the Arabian wild life
in the uae there is about a 1000 wild life sanctuary I think
@@RashedAbdulla-lx8vb glad to hear about these actions and totally sure that with the professionalism they are showing they ll totally succeed on restoring sustainable animal habitats and show the rest of the world the way.
Abu Dhabi and the UAE are lovely, wonderful places. It's a good documentary. One serious problem though: Classical Folk Music from Azerbaijan and Turkey is being used as the background music/soundtrack. It must be that all Middle Eastern music sounds the same for DW documentary makers, and they cannot distinguish them, right? How would Germans feel if a documentary about Germany had French Chansons, or for that matter, Irish music as the soundtrack?
that is beautiful to see the UAE saving animals with their wealth.
High quality work folks.
Oryx is also national animal of Qatar too... 🇶🇦
We can see Oryx in Qatar Airways logo!
🇦🇪🇶🇦❤
Nice video
Captivating thanks DW
Even the ocean is finite
Wow I wish my documentaries were this great wooooow 🇯🇲💯😅
hmmmm, natural environment on desert country.....I want to be there !!
