The campaign is a reflection of Al Ain Zoo’s corporate social responsibility to the general public and its commitment to following the national approach to challenge the COVID-19 outbreak and its social, health, and economic consequences. The Zoo is encouraging members of society to make the best use of their time spent at home in a way that brings together recreation, awareness, and culture, in a family friendly atmosphere.

The educational and awareness programmes are comprised of online workshops about wildlife, including animals and plants, in addition to initiatives that encourage all family members, students in particular, to read and learn. The Zoo offers educational content on its YouTube channel aligned with the beginning of the third term of the academic year, in addition to a variety of puzzles and cultural games as part of its mission in supporting education.

Omar Yousef Alblooshi, Director of Marketing and Corporate Communication at Al Ain Zoo, said: “This campaign comes as part of our corporate social responsibility towards our audience who are spending more time at home during this critical period that is affecting the whole world. We are trying to help our followers on social media to invest their time in a way that supports the current national approach and makes staying at home a motivation for learning, production, and useful enjoyment.”

‘#StayHome’ is the second in a series of campaigns launched by the Zoo via its social media accounts; it previously launched a campaign called ‘WE ARE COMMITTED’ to inform people about its efforts in implementing all precautionary measures to ensure public safety.
