Résumé :	This paper reviews the status of 20 Important Bird Areas in the United Arab Emirates which were first defined in the early 1990s. Ornithologically, the country is notable for important populations of seabirds, waterbirds and a number of restricted-range landbird species. The IBA programme was an important step forward in drawing attention to key sites, but progress in safeguarding these core areas has been patchy. Given the speed of development in many parts of the UAE, the need to identify conservation priorities is now vital.
