Local breeders participated with the Chairman and members of the Board of Directors of the Sharjah Falconers Club, to put forward new visions, towards achieving the UAE policies in the field of the sustainability of this important sport.
Mohammed Khalifa Al Badwawi put forward proposals and solutions to challenges, in addition to calling on government departments, including those related to energy and electricity, as well as those concerned with the allocation of agricultural lands, to provide all available and possible forms of support to the local breeders, given the high costs of production, the need for large areas of land, in addition to reducing the value of energy consumption in falcon breeding farms, which require high loads, skilled labour, immediate follow-up, and veterinary services around the clock.
