Ecological Studies
Habitat Restoration Project in Ras al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary
- Location
- UAE
BioConserve has been appointed to carry out baseline surveys for terrestrial ecology and intertidal ecology components within the Ras al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary (RAKWS). This includes mangrove surveys, avifauna surveys, terrestrial ecology and flora surveying, bat monitoring, diurnal and nocturnal surveying, invertebrate surveying, mudskipper surveying, as well as general terrestrial ecological surveying to establish habitat coverage and wildlife communities present.
The proposed project will see the environmental rehabilitation and enhancement of the site to better support migratory bird populations that originally triggered the designation of the site as an important Ramsar wetland for migratory and wintering birds. BioConserve will carry out baseline surveys to establish the current existing conditions at the site prior to the start of major works on site. Further, BioConserve will provide implementation support throughout the construction phase, ensuring that on-site personnel are effectively trained and adhere to the Construction Environmental Control Plan and associated sub-management plans which are linked to biodiversity and ecological elements.
