Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR)
On the ground, Emirates has played a role in the development of Dubai’s first conservation area - the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR).
Along with the Dubai Government, Emirates developed this reserve that is now the largest environmental park in our country. It was the first UAE conservation area officially protected with a constitution and environmental law dedicated to ensuring its operation as a National Park.
Apart from protecting several endangered species, such as the Arabian and Scimitar-horned Oryx, the DDCR is a major contributor to both local scientific research and conservation efforts.
100% of all visitor revenue from DCCR is spent on conversation and wildlife care, with Emirates also sponsoring a dedicated conservation team of eight.
The DDCR also houses the conservation-oriented Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa.
