Workshop : Interactive discussion on responsible outdoor activities-

07:30 PM – 08:45 PM 05 May 2015
Salon 1, Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas, Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi

There is more to Abu Dhabi than shopping malls and busy streets! With a significant and diverse coastline and a mix of terrestrial habitats inland, Abu Dhabi offers visitors and residents with the opportunity to explore natural habitats and sometimes observe their uniquely adapted species. Many of us go on our camping, diving and trekking adventures with a sense of responsibility and commitment to leave no trace. This consultation seeks to consolidate observations and opinions on the true definition of 'ecotourism' and on best outdoor practices to contribute towards a responsible adventuring guideline for Abu Dhabi. It's time to encourage all Abu Dhabi residents and visitors young and old to venture outside the city, get out there, discover, love and play a part in protecting Abu Dhabi's natural beauty . Please join and be part of the effort and add your voice. This discussion will take the form of an interactive workshop where participants will be encouraged to actively participate, voice their views and recount stories. The discussion will be jointly facilitated by Keith Taylor, ENHG-AD Chairman, and Nessrine Alzahlawi, ENHG-AD Online Outreach Coordinator.
