In case you have missed our talks last month, you can access the recordings on these 2 youtube links.
As we go through this challenging time, many of us are still in Doha for the summer. So the steering committee has decided to extend as much as possible our activities during this hot season. In parallel with a sharp decrease in the transmission rate of the virus, and as the authorities are easing the restriction's measures, we should be able to organise some small outings. We are thinking of some Sunset and Sunrise walks in the desert, where we could enjoy the outdoors and hopefully make some beautiful observations. We shall, of course, respect the rules of social distancing, and adhere to the measures of the official phase. We should be able to send further announcements out shortly.

We are very fortunate to have 2 very interesting topics this month.

Then fellow QNHG member, and year 12 student, Ramaswamy Narayanaswamy, will share his passion for reptiles and his discovery of the lizards of Qatar. This is quite inspiring and we’re very proud to have one our young members present the results of his findings.

Message From Chairman
After our April Talk on COViD-19, this month, we’re very grateful to have Dr. Nicolas Pilcher as our speaker. He will present another timely issue, since we’re in the middle of turtle nesting season, and the Ministry of Municipality and Environment has just reported record numbers of nests for the start of the season.
Because of the current crisis, we’ll use the Zoom communication suite for video conferencing. It is easy to set up and use from all Operating Systems on Desktops (PC, Mac, Linux) and Mobile devices (iOS, and Android).
Please note that Dr. Pilcher will be presenting on May 20th, from Malaysia, and because of the time difference, and the Ramadan, we had to move our regular time to 4:00pm.
Make sure to register in advance, using this link, you’ll then receive the details to connect to the meeting room.
Thank you for your understanding,
On behalf of the Steering Committee,
