Q. UAE is home for many species of plants and animals despite the size of the country, yet there are many species at the risk of extinction. Find out about these species and the reason for extinction,
 

Dear student,
1. Arabian Oryx

This stunning desert antelope has been hunted for meat and hides for years. They were marked as extinct for a long time .
2 Arabian Tahr
Apart from hunting, these creatures face a loss of habitat and competition for pastures with domestic livestock. They are vulnerable to diseases that affect regular goats, which is an additional threat. They are classified as endangered.

3. Hawsbill Turtles

Commonly found around coral reefs, these highly colorful-shelled creatures are hunted for ‘tortoiseshell’ jewelry and ornaments. They have also lost their habitat in light of coastal development, and are threatened further by fishing and pollution. 

4 Houbara bustard

The Houbara Bustard was quite commonly found in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  The dominant cause of decline of the bustard population is over-hunting by Middle Eastern falconers as a recreational activity.

Regards
