The game aims to raise awareness and encourage community members to take action to conserve nature, address climate change, and ensure a sustainable future.

Brigadier Ahmed Mardas, Deputy Director of the General Department of Training, emphasized that the game isn't merely a source of entertainment but an educational tool addressing major environmental issues of the present time. Developed internally by the Virtual Technology Center in the General Training Department of Dubai Police, this initiative showcases Dubai Police's commitment to community contributions. The game is available on platforms like Apple Store, Google Play, and Huawei, and supports six languages: Arabic, English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese, which are the official languages of the United Nations. He added that protecting our planet for the present and future generations is a global responsibility led by the UAE.
