WHAT ARE DRYLANDS?

Drylands are ecosystems characterized by a lack of water. The majority of UAE’s land area can be considered dry land. It is predicted that most of the world’s drylands will get drier and hotter with climate change.

Heat and water play a key role in the development of flora and fauna in the drylands of the UAE. Therefore, any change in the weather will harm the region’s biodiversity.
