Respect for the environment and sustainabledevelopment is a long
standingpart of our tradition. The lateSheikhZayedBinSultan
Al Nahayan captured this in his ownbeliefs:
‘‘We cherishour environment because it is an integral part of our
country, our history andour heritage. On land and in the sea,
our forefathers lived and survived in this environment. Theywere
able todo soonly because they recognized the need to conserve it,
to take from it onlywhat they needed to live, and topreserve it for
succeedinggenerations.’’
