Crocodile Park in Dubai

The first crocodile park in the Middle East, which is expected to be completed within two years, will be used for research purposes and to raise public awareness about the endangered animals,.

This ambitious project would be a turning point in the history of Dubai tourism and research projects as the proposed crocodile park would encompass different crocodile species in future stages of the park development, enabling tourists and research students to learn from A to Z about the crocodile — a gigantic animal existing for the last 220 million years.

Being a metropolitan city that has been enjoying the total turnover of 10 million tourist per year, Dubai is always keen to put its enduring efforts in the field of sustainable development along with natural and wildlife conservation creating a number of natural reserves such as Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, Mushrif Park and Desert Conservation Reserve in addition to several initiatives to protect animals like turtles, Arabian Oryx, hawks, camels and horses.

The park will cover a span of 20,000 square metres and will have up to 200 crocodiles .The park will strengthen the role of the UAE in the protection of endangered animal species.

This project would adopt an eco-friendly approach like all other projects of the civic body through sustainable use of eco-friendly materials, resources, waste, renewable energy and creating a ?suitable environment for the crocodiles for a hassle free living, interaction and reproduction.
