Earthwatch Lecture: Environmental Conservation Practices in the Sultanate of Oman

From the rocky Hajar mountains where the endangered Tahr perch on narrow outcrops, to long sandy beaches where newly-hatched turtles brave numerous dangers to reach the sea, Oman is rich with ecosystems.


As conservationists take an increased interest in the Omani environment and its wildlife, the country itself is seeing rapid development which is encroaching on the natural, rugged landscape.

Join Earthwatch for our free lecture Environmental Conservation Practices in the Sultanate of Oman. Three highly qualified and experienced speakers will tackle the topic of traditional conservation practices contending with developmental change and
how field science can inform and affect the outcome.
