Muscat: The latest phase focused on comprehensive field surveys, where teams recorded nesting locations, monitored eggs and chicks, and mapped precise coordinates using advanced technologies. Visual and audio documentation was carried out to ensure a detailed record of falcon activity.

To cover the rugged island terrain, the EA divided its staff into two groups, ensuring safety standards were upheld throughout the fieldwork. Using high-resolution cameras, binoculars, GPS devices, and camera traps, the teams collected valuable data and made new discoveries of previously undocumented nests.

Officials said the findings mark a significant step forward in conservation work, laying the groundwork for the final phase of the project scheduled for September. This upcoming stage will involve fitting identification rings and tracking devices to study the falcons’ migration routes and movement patterns.

The Authority emphasized that the results will enrich scientific knowledge, strengthen wildlife protection strategies, and support Oman’s wider commitment to environmental sustainability and biodiversity preservation.
