Beauty of Beauty of Bu Tinah – Short Take – Gulf Today Dt. 15.10.2011
Off the western coastline of Abu Dhabi lies a unique wonder of nature, wild and undisturbed by human activity. The Bu Tinah Island.
It is now one of the 28 official finalists for the New7Wonders of Nature, a campaign where people worldwide can vote and nominate the seven most remarkable, beautiful or otherwise awe-inspiring natural locations and features on our planet.
Bu Tinah is host to critical marine habitats containing internationally important species. Seabirds such as the flamingo and the osprey, diverse species of dolphins and endangered turtles, including hawksbills and greens, are all found in and around Bu Tinah.
The island’s waters are also home to the planet’s second largest population of dugongs, a large marine mammal that is globally threatened.
Bu Tinah Island, rich in biodiversity, lies within the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve. The biosphere reserve is the region’s first and largest Unesco designated marine biosphere reserve. Closed to visitors, fishing and the collection of turtle eggs are prohibited on Bu Tinah Island. Its continued survival and protection must be ensured.
A special campaign to vote Bu Tinah as one of the new seven wonders of nature has been initiated by the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi. You may visit online http://www.vote7.com and use the “vote now” option to choose your seven wonders.
An exhibition with a daily presentation has also been organised by EAD at Abu Dhabi Corniche to intensify the campaign to vote for Bu Tinah. It is informative for children and adults alike. Visitors can vote in the designated kiosks set specially inside a dome-shaped replica of this nature’s treasure. Act fast, only 27 more days to end this campaign. Let us make Bu Tinah one of the seven new wonders.

If everyone in the UAE turned off just one light for one hour a day, we’d stop 700 tonnes of CO2 from going into the atmosphere every year. That’s the same as taking 400 cars off the road.

The oldest patrol, a caprice, will be delivering traffic tips and awareness for road users by giving them brochures bearing “ traffic rules are made for your safety and safety of others”.

Photo Speaks – Start of a new season
Photo Speaks – Start of a new season
The date palm trees have flowered. It means a new season is beginning. Winter, although its cold these days, will be over soon. It will be gone with the dust storms and then the summer and the month of June, the summer holidays. By the time, one finishes his holiday and returns from home, it is time for the holy month of Ramadan. Then comes Eid Al Adha and by then the flowers will all be grown, full and ready to harvest.
A season completes its circle so fast and life also progress along, like that of a clock.
Wish you all great days ahead.
