The 'Wishing Wall' is to share thoughts on how we can best save the planet and become more environmentally friendly.
Visitors to the Art Fair may write or paint directly on the 'Wishing Wall', or alternatively can record their feelings on a piece of paper and stick it on the wall.
"The 'Wishing Wall' is an interactive way of generating public interest in what we do and is designed to encourage people of all ages to think about our environment and ecological sustainability," said Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak, director EWS-WWF. "We encourage everyone to visit the Art Fair and take the opportunity to share their thoughts on the environment with us".
EWS-WWF wishes for the planet are as follows:
- A future in which humans live in harmony with nature
- Conservation of the world's biodiversity
- Reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption
- Sustainable use of natural resources
- Regulated trade of endangered species
- Protection of Wadi Wurayah in Fujairah
The "Wishing Wall" is located in Bastakya, outside the EWS-WWF office. Members of the public can visit any time between March 26th - April 1st.

Emirates Wildlife Society (EWS)
EWS is a national (UAE) environmental NGO. EWS is established under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, to implement conservation actions for the protection of local biodiversity. In the UAE, EWS works in association with WWF. The EWS is governed by a Board of Directors that also serves as the WWF UAE Project Office Board. EWS-WWF has been active in the UAE since the beginning of 2001 and has initiated several conservation projects in the region.
About EWS-WWF
The WWF UAE Project Office was established in February 2001. Although it was the first WWF office to be set up in the Middle East, WWF's association with the region can be traced back to the early 1960s where WWF helped establish the 'Arabian Oryx World Herd,' which succeeded in breeding the Oryx in captivity and returning them to reserves in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Thanks to 'Operation Oryx' the Arabian Oryx was saved from extinction.
About WWF
WWF was born into this world in 1961. It was the product of a deep concern held by a few eminent gentlemen who were worried by what they saw happening in our world at that time. Since those early days WWF has grown up to be one of the largest environmental organizations in the world.
Currently there are more than 2000 WWF conservation projects underway around the world. The vast majority of these focus on local issues. They range from school nature gardens in Zambia, to initiatives that appear on the packaging in your local supermarket. From the restoration of orangutan habitats to the establishment of giant panda reserves.
