Abu Dhabi: Two major books highlighting Abu Dhabi's terrestrial and marine environment were released by the Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi (EAD) in a double-book launch held at the Intercontinental Hotel on Tuesday.
Authors and editors were present to deliver a brief about their contributions to each of the books. Both books were published in English, while the Arabic versions are expected to be published very soon.
Majid Al Mansouri, EAD’s Secretary General, during the launch ceremony, said: "I believe that the launch of this book is a landmark event and an important day in the history of our emirate’s biodiversity.
"Our emirate is part of a world that has a balanced ecology that evolved over 4 billion years. Today, our challenge in Abu Dhabi is to protect what’s left of our biodiversity. Our challenge is also to harmonize between the fast pace of development and environmental protection."
