The role of Dubai Hills Golf Club in gazelle conservation

Dubai Hills Golf Club

United Arab Emirates

Written by: Jordan Fairweather

When you visit Dubai Hills Golf Club, you will have the chance to observe two distinct species of gazelle: the Arabian Gazelle and the Sand Gazelle, both indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula.

Despite their populations being reportedly fewer than 10,000, we have witnessed significant growth in numbers each year as they establish their home within the golf course and surrounding landscape. These gazelles have become accustomed to our presence, coexisting peacefully with golfers, greenkeepers, and machinery.

We take pride in providing a safe habitat for these species to breed, underscoring the golf course's importance as a sanctuary for diverse wildlife. Our aim is to support the continual growth of their populations, contributing to the overall conservation efforts nationally.
