Nature at Night
Discover what the wildlife gets up to under the cover of darkness.
About the activity
In this cool NEW adventure, you will set out to discover nature after sunset, explore your surroundings, and help us map our biodiversity by spotting some of UAE’s natural nocturnal inhabitants.
Join our team of experts to survey the scorpions, identify bats and listen for owls.
We are looking for wildlife-impassioned volunteers to survey the desert and its nocturnal fauna and assess the challenges to nature.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed the event and it was great to meet wildlife-impassioned people from a number of different organisations. Very well organised and massive thanks to Arbella and Amal both very knowledgeable and very helpful individuals.
It was very informative and reach experience. We get to know more about Dubai desert fauna and floura and we met a new interesting people. The organisers were so friendly and supportive. I love it
It was amazing experience, for parents and kids. So many creatures are out there in desert. Hosts were very friendly and shared their knowledge with entire group.
Indeed It was an amazing experience to look deep into nature at night, and understand as much as you can to connect with nocturnal wildlife in the UAE desert.
