Workshop Caught on Camera

ABOUT THE EVENT

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the world of citizen science, helping collect data that supports wildlife research. You will review real, never-before-seen images collected from motion-sensing camera traps in the Hajar Mountains. These cameras don’t trap animals — they simply take photos of wildlife that passes by. You will work together to help identify species and get a glimpse into how scientists analyze data.

WHAT WILL PARTICIPANTS LEARN?

• Discover how citizen science supports wildlife research and conservation
• Learn about the wildlife that lives in UAE’s mountain habitats, and the challenges they face
• Explore the technology behind motion-sensing camera traps and how they capture non-invasive wildlife images
• Develop the skills to analyze camera-trap footage
