Ajmal Hasan

Ajmal considers himself a born Naturalist. Born in Tiger country (his hometown Bangalore lies in the heart of South India surrounded by dense tropical jungles), he currently resides in Sharjah, UAE, where he works at a University. He also is a member of the Dubai Natural History Group. Ajmal can be found every weekend exploring the deserts, wadis and mountains of the UAE keenly seeking out species (both flora and fauna) with a special eye out for reptiles. Over the years, he has done a lot of free lance conservation work educating construction workers on preserving the fauna that they encounter in remote desert construction sites. Ajmal's main goal right now is to spread awareness on Arabian wildlife as he feels this is one area that has long been overlooked. A father of two, Ajmal hopes that one day his son and daughter look back at their father's work and hopefully continue being nature conscious and spread the word around - Our world is an extremely fragile place where one mistake by man can lead to thousands of animal lives being lost (us included)!!
