What’s next for #Mangrove restoration? Mangroves serve as natural barriers against coastal erosion, support a diverse array of marine life, and act as significant blue carbon sinks, making their preservation essential for the UAE's environmental health. Hence, our commitment to protect and sustainably manage them. The ball keeps rolling, as we explore different ways to improve restoration success. On #MangroveDay, we’re pleased to share this insightful article on ecosystem restoration in which our marine ecosystem expert Gheeda Jaouhari explains what we’ve achieved so far, and what’s coming next.

During COP28, we had the privilege of partnering with Mashreq to launch Notice Nature, an innovative nationwide initiative aimed at mapping the wildlife and biodiversity of the UAE in collaboration with the community. The community climate and nature challenge was officially launched in the Green Zone at COP28, with community members joining us for a lively Bio Blitz – a survey of the urban biodiversity at the COP28 UAE site. We are excited to share that Mashreq, our esteemed partner, has taken significant steps towards sustainability. They have introduced new Credit and Debit card designs made with 100% recycled plastic. Additionally, their welcome packs are now made with FSC certified recycled paper, resulting in an annual saving of 2,500 kg of plastic and 40,000 kg of paper. Furthermore, Mashreq has introduced the "Mashreq Al Islami Nature Saver Account" in support of the "Preservation of Endangered Wildlife and Reversing Damage & Nature Loss" in collaboration with Emirates Nature-WWF. These eco-friendly initiatives demonstrate Mashreq's commitment to protecting key habitats and endangered species in the UAE, aligning with our goal to support the country's conservation objectives. #TogetherPossible #NoticeNature #Biodiversity

With technology and beyond, we are always exploring new ways to bring people on board for conservation in the UAE. At the #GlobalSustainabilityForum, our Director General Laila Mostafa Abdullatif talked about how we currently use technology and #AI in conservation - to learn about different species, monitor wildlife, assess the volume of carbon stored in local natural habitats and more, whilst highlighting our Notice Nature Project with our partner Mashreq - which aims at mapping biodiversity across the UAE and creating citizen scientists in the process.

I was delighted to speak about #tech and #AI at the Global Sustainability Forum, and how we use these tools for conservation at Emirates Nature-WWF. A substantial part of environmental conservation is learning about species and conducting biodiversity surveys to understand – How many are there? Are they threatened? How can we prevent these threats? And are our interventions working? Technology - especially #AI - plays an important role in scaling up these efforts, helping us process large amounts of data and unearth actionable insights. As an example, we utilize technology such as motion sensor camera traps and bat detectors in Wadi Wurayah national park, as part of our Notice Nature initiative in association with our partner Mashreq to map the UAE's biodiversity and encourage citizen science - with the support of the Fujairah Environment Authority. These technologies already use AI for species identification, contributing valuable data that helps evaluate the conservation status of key species. Notably, technologies such as mobile apps enable us to involve civil society in this effort and further amplify our impact.
