40 Years of the Emirates Natural History Group!

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Emirates Natural History Group, we set up 'The Plover' (after our mascot, the Crab Plover) to continue our mission to celebrate, record and conserve the unique habitats of the UAE, from the coast to the deserts and mountains of our home. 

Follow this link to a recent article about the group's beginnings, featuring an interview with Peter Hellyer, one of our lifetime members. 

Forty years after a group of dedicated (obsessed?) birdwatchers joined forces to create the ENHG, we remain a community-based organization that is passionate about the natural world. 

Join us for bi-weekly lectures, amazing field trips to all corners of the region and beyond, and the company of fellow enthusiasts of the outdoors.
