Dubai [UAE], Emirates Nature-WWF has launched its second free summer training series called 'Nature's Resilience' to enhance the UAE community's skills on nature and the environment.
Hosted as part of the Leaders of Change program, the series provides nature lovers and changemakers with insight into environmental issues and conservation solutions that contribute to a sustainable future.
Through 10 engaging sessions, Nature's Resilience offers a virtual exploration of the rich tapestry of life in the UAE. From expansive desert sands and hidden oases to freshwater habitats and coastal regions, participants will experience local nature like never before and learn about the intricate link between biodiversity, climate change and our own well-being.
Through an interactive series of expert-led masterclasses and workshops, participants will gain a deep understanding of the importance of biodiversity conservation and sustainable management practices in mitigating climate change and preserving the UAE's natural heritage.
Additionally, participants will better understand how they can support local environmental experts and conservation efforts. Participants who complete a minimum of seven sessions will earn a certificate recognizing their commitment to environmental conservation in the UAE.
"We are delighted to launch the Nature's Resilience series, which builds on the success of last summer's climate training series. Over ten weeks, we will explore the magnificent diversity of life that has adapted to thrive in arid deserts, rocky slopes of the UAE's mountains and winding wadis and vibrant coastal lagoons, and how we can safeguard these beautiful, fragile places and the wildlife that call them home," explained Arabella Willing, Head of Conservation Promotion and Citizen Science at Emirates. Nature-WWF. “This series is very action-oriented and prepares the community to drive positive impact through citizen science and conservation field trips that will resume after the summer.”
The series builds on the popularity and success of last year's Climate and Nature Series, which trained nearly 1,000 people on key environmental topics and achieved an exceptional 98% satisfaction rate. Participants participated in seven events led by experts and guests from Emirates Nature-WWF, the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency and other organizations, contributing a total of 1,224 hours for nature.
While last year's series included sessions such as Climate Fresk, Food for Thought and Planetary Boundaries, this year the focus will be on the unique biodiversity of the UAE. The series will highlight rare and endangered species, pollinators, migratory and resident birds, and desert inhabitants who play an invaluable role in maintaining their respective natural ecosystems healthy and functional.
