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.
BioConserve undertook diurnal and nocturnal ecology baseline surveys, deployment and retrieval of acoustic bat recorders, and bat roost searches in the Sharaan Nature Reserve boundaries of Al Ula. Deliverables included a technical report outlining survey findings and results of acoustic data analysis, and served as input into a larger strategic environmental assessment.
The client is developing a regional cross-boundary OHTL for power evacuation and exchange within the region. The original ecological survey performed for national permitting procedures was flagged as insufficient by the Lender’s Environmental Advisor and BioConserve was commissioned to re-survey the site for validation and added depth of information. Recommendations were provided which considered the proposed construction & operation measures & monitoring to ensure alignment with IFC P.S.6.
BioConserve undertook avifauna monitoring for Meydan One masterplan which is located in proximity to the Ras Al Khor protected area / RAMSAR recognized wetlands. We prepared a collision risk assessment document to discuss the potential risks of high-rise buildings, taking into account flight paths, façade treatment and landscaping in the masterplan, and proposed mitigation and monitoring programs for the project.
BioConserve undertook Avifauna Surveys for a proposed Low Carbon Steel Hub project in an industrial area in Abu Dhabi. The activities for the development of the project included maintenance dredging throughout certain areas of the adjacent water channel, an area that had previously been dredged. The Avifauna Surveys were required as part of the ecological survey to inform the assessment of baseline and to be included as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), in accordance with EAD requirements. Although the majority of the project activities were planned to take place on the mainland and the canal off the shore, the study area also included an island off the shore of the mainland, directly opposite the proposed project site. Avifauna surveying included Vantage Point surveys using binoculars and a digital camera with a telephoto lens.
BioConserve undertook a terrestrial baseline survey and reporting for a proposed power plant in Al Nouf, Abu Dhabi. The scope of works included diurnal and nocturnal surveys, flora surveys using quadrats, and the deployment of Sherman traps. The development of a habitat map as well as detailing survey findings, identification of constraints and recommendations for suitable development were delivered in a technical report.
BioConserve undertook a terrestrial ecology survey to inform the EIA for the development project of Ghaf Woods. The scope of works included diurnal and nocturnal surveys, flora surveys using quadrats, deployment of camera traps, and sampling of bat acoustic data. The development of a habitat map as well as detailing survey findings, identification of constraints and recommendations for suitable development were delivered in a technical report.
