Earth Day: Emirates Group helps safeguard wildlife and support conservation
by Rafa Mohammed Ashique \| 27-04-2019 22:03 0
Emirates group is taking its environmental responsibilities solemnly and championing wildlife conservation across different corners of the planet. Emirates Group employees living in Meydan Heights (UAE) will be taking part in a Ghaf Tree planting event on 27 April in partnership with Goumbook. The event aims to raise awareness about the importance of conserving the living desert, with a specific focus on the Ghaf tree. The Ghaf is a drought tolerant, evergreen tree which can withstand harsh desert environments, and can be used for greening purposes whilst saving water. dnata a Dubai transportation association recently signed an MOU with the University of Pretoria in South Africa to support their research and rehabilitation projects. Under dnata4good, the partnership aims to safeguard wildlife and the environment by strengthening and enhancing research, veterinary training and awareness, increasing involvement through volunteer opportunities and ensuring needed measures are taken to care for injured animals and rehabilitate them to go back into the wild. The initiative will be partially driven by employee participation to protect fragile biodiversity in South Africa and to maintain balanced ecosystems. Emirates has been supporting the protection of Australia’s extraordinary wildlife and plant life for over 10 years, through the conservation-based Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley in New South Wales. The property was the first luxury resort in the world to receive an internationally-recognised carbon neutral certification from New Zealand based CarboNZero, undergoing a comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions assessment. Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley also conducts regular research to research for endangered species conservation. The Emirates Group funds the operations of the 225 square kilometre Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR), an inland desert habitat that has been protected by government mandate since 2003.This reserve is a home to some of the UAE’s wildlife, such as the Arabian gazelle, sand gazelle and Arabian oryx.

Hello Rafa,

Thank you for sharing this important issue that Emirates are taking initiatives for conservation of environments and biodiversity. Also, it's recommended to refer to other external sources and get information. However, you should always try to write in your own words and try to put your thoughts in your writing. In that way, you will have more time to think about your own opinion.

Greetings Rafa,

First of all, thank you very much for taking your time to publish this report.

It seems that the whole paragraphs had been taken from the media office website which you managed to site at the end of the report.
If you do not make a quotation of the work, it can be considered as plagiarism.

Please take this in mind when you write the report next time, preferrable in your own words.

Sincerely,
Eco Generation
