Nature at Night

Discover what the wildlife gets up to under the cover of darkness.

The area of impact it contributes to

The data you help collect will support the expansion of our conservation efforts, and will be used to:

  • Identify species, distribution and important areas for the various life stages of each species
  • Monitor recovery and pressures
  • Investigate how Protected Areas affect populations
  • Data collected around the various species can feed into the National Plans of Action for the conservation of these species and support IUCN red listing efforts
  • Help change people’s attitudes and behaviours towards bats, scorpions and geckos.

This activity supports our objective to:

  • Protect 30% of the UAE’s wild areas by 2030.
  • Make 5,000 new research grade observations on iNaturalist– that’s 30% more data than we currently have for the UAE on the iNaturalist app.

Once again, a great experience and learning and a fun evening. We managed to see the worlds smallest snake, scorpions and several other beauties. The insights from Drew, Arabella and Ahmed are much appreciated

This was a fantastic experience and one of the best I have attended. The guide and teacher were very knowledgeable and learnt a lot that evening. Thank you for a great evening

It was a great session and I really gained a lot of information of the nocturnal wildlife in the UAE.

It was really fun and we enjoyed the hike partially with sun light and partially at night. However, there was supposed to be a first aid kit and at least water and better guidance sense every few people were together and some individuals were not reached for communication on where to go and what to do

A very nice walk in nature. It was my first time to be at such close distance from bats, it was nice to see their actual size and how each species fly. This time we were not lucky to see the owls and scorpions but maybe in the future.
