Increasing the osprey population We have developed a plan to build osprey populations within ADNOC concession areas by constructing artificial nesting platforms to minimize predation and enhance nestlings success rate. The osprey is a common bird along the Abu Dhabi coastline, but it is currently in decline due to habitat fragmentation and destruction. So far, we have installed more than 200 platforms at the Hail and Ghasha and AlNouf facilities, and on the Zirku, Arzanah and Mubarraz Islands. Collaboration to accelerate progress In 2023, ADNOC, the EAD and the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) hosted the inaugural UAE Biodiversity Forum. The forum brought together over 350 participants and was a catalyst for knowledge exchange, delving into pressing issues related to biodiversity. At the event, a comprehensive report was unveiled detailing 52 impactful biodiversity initiatives, symbolizing 52 years of the nations progress in this vital area. 59 Energy for Life
