    Hi Team! My name is Sheena Khan. I head up environmental programs at Terra which part of and located in Expo City Dubai. One of the programs I run is called Nature in Cities (or as I prefer to think of it, cities in nature), which focuses on adding to the body of urban biodiversity knowledge specifically in the UAE which is arid. A few projects existing or underway in our gardens under the umbrella of urban biodiversity: native plants, pollinators, pygmy goats as a NbS, and urban nature therapy.

    We are currently measuring (but not yet assessing) our flora and fauna by engaging our community through citizen science sessions and will be upping our game by adding earth observations analysis. From this course I’d like to learn the tools to follow the IUCN framework to apply it to Expo City Dubai.

    Please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
