Description: This dataset represents Burqas and Mesas derived through Satellite Image processing. Status: Critical habitat within Abu Dhabi emirate. Location: Confined to the outcrop of Miocene aged rocks, which extends from Abu Dhabi Island westwards to Sila’a, and generally within 50 km of the coastline, but extending further south in the west. Description: Burqas and Mesas are the traditional local names for rocky outcrops and small jebels of the western region that have long had informal protection through the late Sheikh Zayed’s verbal instructions. They are unique topographic features and prove a key ecological function as nesting and denning habitat for birds and bats, as well as holding significant cultural value. Flat-topped hills, generally 5 to 15 metres high that are protected from erosion by a hard layer of Miocene age, overlying softer sediments beneath. Island-like rocky exposures particularly occurring in coastal areas. Can also be occasionally found further inland. These exposures can be nearly barren to well-vegetated, with halophytic and non-halophytic vegetation. Haloxylon salicornicum, Salsola cyclophylla, Cornulaca monacantha, Calligonum comosum, Helianthemum lippii. Birds, mammals and reptiles use the holes that develop beneath the outer edge of the protective layer. Birds include Desert Eagle Owl, Barn Owl and Lilith Owlet. Mammals include Red Fox.
