It was an incredible experience to be part of such an inspiring and enthusiastic team, led by Moaz. Camera Trails at Wadi Wurayah was truly an enriching and educational journey where I gained valuable knowledge, and the exchange of insights and experiences made it even more meaningful.
Camera trails a wonderful experience to be in nature, surrounded by the super cool and huge the Hajar mountains
One of my favorite outdoor activity! First of all, you get to the chance to discover Wadi Wurayah (according to me the most beautiful place of UAE), secondly, Moaz is an expert of UAE fauna and flora so you will always learn a lot with him!
Life in the Wild: Camera trails a wonderful experience to be in nature, surrounded by the super cool and huge the Hajar mountains all around. Emirates Nature-WWF Representatives shared knowledge and their experience about wildlife tracking by using Camera Traps and how it functions to capture footage of rare animals in the area and shared knowledge about the rich biodiversity in the area. Also, all volunteers had an opportunity to use iNaturalist App and conduct observations by spotting the trees, plants, insects, birds, and other species and to know about the species in the area. During the Event met the new volunteers and shared the knowledge about wildlife conservation and about the interest in wildlife conservation. Thank you, Emirates Nature-WWF, for this opportunity.
