The Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA) was established in 1998 to represent a quantum leap in the environmental strategy of the Emirate of Sharjah and a new methodology to develop the institutional structures of environmental management. The Authority aims to protect the environment, and the wildlife and its biodiversity, and seeks to be the main source and the main reference in the Emirate of Sharjah for environment and wildlife.
EPAA is dedicated to the conservation and protection of the environment and natural areas in Sharjah, and operates various learning centers and protected areas, including parks and reserves, to promote biodiversity and environmental awareness. Managed by the Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA), these reserves safeguard rare flora and fauna, support ecological research, and promote environmental education. The branch of the Environment and Protected Areas Authority in Khorfakkan was established in November 2011, to cover the eastern region and represents the Authority's headquarter in Sharjah, following its approach, vision and objectives.
