The purpose of this mission is to document all native wildlife found in the deserts of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt.
Sinai is located in a unique position - a land bridge between Africa and Asia - covering some 61,000 km in total area, with a variety of geographic features - limestone hills, a sandstone belt, gravel plains, magmatic & metaphoric rocks, extreme deserts, coastal plains, and high mountains. Regarding the flora, three geographical regions are found here - Saharo-Arabian, Sudanian, and Irano-Turanian.
The Sinai desert, at first glance, may seem pretty barren, but with closer inspection, visitors can see a variety of desert wildlife! Plants, insects, mammals, reptiles, and more. Join us on this mission to document these amazing desert species. <br> Please only wild native or migratory species.
No marine life, just terrestrial plants and animals, and no captive animals.
Please provide as much information as possible on location, time of spotting, animal behavior and interactions, and weather conditions.
Please include any information about local (Bedouin) traditional uses (medicinal, practical, edible).
