This project assists scientists of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve gather scientific data on Arabian oryx, Gordon’s wildcat and Macqueen’s bustard to gain a better understanding of their ecology so that informed management decisions can be made. All three species are on the IUCN Red list and the project’s work will help to ensure their survival in the wild. Our vision is a haven for threatened Arabian wildlife in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.

This project works for the conservation of

Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx), Gordon’s wildcat (Felis silvestris gordoni), Macqueen’s bustard (Chlamydotis macqueenii).
