Abu Dhabi: The first international symposium on conservation and breeding of endangered birds species, to be attented by over 40 ornithologists, environmentalists and wildlife experts, will be held here Tuesday.
The United Arab Emirates will reveal to the gathering findings of the world first-ever scientific breakthrough project.

As staunch defender of the environment and wildlife, the UAE has founded several avian research centres for protecting and conserving endangered birds.
