Natural paradise gets protection

Summary:
There are many tough places such as the Hajar Mountains. One team started to recognize the place and think how we can protect this beautiful area. Then,they found some problems. One of the main problems is how we can save the animals and plants. After that they started to develop the area after they received orders from the ruler but the drawback here is who will sponsor this project. As you know we need a lot of money to build the centre. At the end, this area is one of the best places in the UAE for tourists and visitors.
Main idea:
It is not easy to protect the natural paradise but if you have money you can do anything.
Comment:
It is a good article because I am from the UAE and I don't Know this place. I hope one day that I go to this area and see what's there.
