Why is UAE releasing its most treasured Falcons thousands of miles away from home?

In May 2025, the UAE released 81 falcons into the wild in Kazakhstan, marking 30 years of the Sheikh Zayed Falcon Release Programme. Rooted in Emirati cultural heritage, the initiative aims to restore endangered falcon populations through scientific conservation. The release reflects the UAE’s commitment to biodiversity, blending tradition with environmental leadership on a global scale.
