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.
