  "summary": "The UAE welcomes approximately two million migratory birds annually, providing a crucial stopover along the African-Eurasian flyway, according to the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. The country has implemented a series of conservation initiatives to safeguard these species, protect natural habitats, and enhance ecological sustainability through monitoring, habitat preservation, and environmental protection programs. Under the National Biodiversity Strategy 2031, the UAE aims to restore 80% of degraded terrestrial and marine areas while conserving at least 20% of ecosystems to provide safe and sustainable habitats for migratory birds.",
