Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak
Managing Director of the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD)
Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak is the Managing Director of the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD). As an experienced global leader and advocate for nature Razan has dedicated her career to protecting the environment and ensuring the conservation of species across the world. Razan is a native of the United Arab Emirates which has afforded her the opportunity to lead the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi, Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund and Emirates Nature WWF. In 2018 the World Economic Forum recognized Razan as one of the top 100 Young Global Leaders for her significant role in environmental protection and species conservation. She is a strong supporter of the IUCN and its mission to ensure nature is valued and protected for future generations worldwide. As head of the EAD, she has overseen the successful breeding of captive Scimitar-horned oryx in Abu Dhabi and reintroducing them back into the wilderness, thus seeing a species that was listed as extinct in the wild now increase its numbers in their natural habitat.
