Hike & Seek: Wildlife Spotting & Photography
Combine nature, fun and photography as you map the UAE’s biodiversity.
About the activity
Individual scientists can only be in a few places at a given time. But hundreds of citizen scientists can help scout the country! Get your camera or phone cam, and let’s get snapping!
Collecting information about plants and natural habitats helps us understand how best to protect these natural wonders. During this activity, we’ll explore a region on foot, and snap photos of animals and plants as we hike across the UAE.
Time spent in nature is great for us humans too. You may find that it gives you a moment of calm, lifts your spirit, or boosts your energy. Maybe even all three!
