In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), falcons are treated like honored members of the family. If one becomes sick or injured, it's a serious matter. The UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi, is home to a falcon hospital that is the first public medical institution exclusively for falcons in the country. Established in 1999, Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital (ADFH) is the largest falcon hospital in the world, with a patient influx of approximately 11,000 falcons per year. The ADFH describes its mission as "to protect, conserve, research, and promote captive-bred and wild falcons health, wildlife and falconry tradition." The staff say they would like to lead efforts to improve animal welfare and to increase awareness and responsibility about it. Come along with our reporter You Yang to explore this unique place.
