Dugongs
Once mistaken for mermaids by sailors, the dugongs are shy, slow-moving marine mammals now facing a very real threat of extinction. Also known as “sea cows,” dugongs feed exclusively on seagrass in shallow waters. “The presence, or absence, of dugong tells us a lot about the health of an ecosystem, its diversity and levels of pollution,” explains Mirey Atallah of the UNEP’s Climate for Nature Branch. Saudi Arabia is one of the few countries where the survival of dugongs is being actively secured.
