The Qatar e-Nature application was launched in December 2013 in cooperation with Sasol, as an educational awareness program supported by a competition for schools in 2015.
It is available for free download on the App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store, and on the website www.enature.qa.
The information in the application and website is updated regularly.
It is a valuable resource for the local community, as it is used in many schools as part of the Qatar e-Nature interactive school competition, which aims to spread awareness about environmental diversity in Qatar.
The application is in Arabic and English, and aims to support the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030 in spreading environmental awareness among the population.
We raised a slogan early on that the most correct path to environmental sustainability is (environmental work should include everyone) in the slogan (each in its place).
In terms of societal benefit, we find a program that invades our phones, providing 963 objects from the natural environment around us in Qatar, distributed in 6 groups in Arabic and English:
• Bird group 322
• Plant Collection 364
• Insect group 123
• Reptile group 32
• Mammal group 21
• Marine Organisms 101 group
The objects that have been inventoried and classified are subjected to successive processes of (examination – development – scrutiny – addition – deletion) in order to reach high levels of accuracy, especially since this program can be enjoyed throughout the whole world, as it is our ambassador throughout the world, in displaying our innate nature,
The program also includes a presentation of 12 natural reserves, indicating their geographical location and a detailed explanation of each reserve.
