Conservation
We advise on conservation management planning for NGOs, government and private sector clients, collecting data, developing and implementing plans both within and outside of protected areas and nature reserves. Our primary conservation focus relates to monitoring of sea turtles and humpback whales in Oman under international aid programmes and funded by and private organisations in partnership with Environmental Society of Oman. Our staff are engaged in international whale conservation studies, including attendance and presentations at IWC events. Our work in this area has led to our staff to publish a number of books and we have had the privilege of supporting the BBC with their Wild Arabia series – see More Stuff.
Some of our specific conservation experience, includes:
- Integrating Development and Environmental Conservation
- Scientific Research and Natural Resource Monitoring
- Natural Resource and Protected Areas’ Management
