Biosphere Expedition Diary – Oman 2008 (2.1.2008)
Happy New Year and hello to all Oman expeditioners and those involved with the expedition to this first entry of our Oman 2008 diary. I am Peter Schuette, your expedition leader this year, and I will be entertaining or boring you (whichever way you see it!) with this diary over the next month or so. It’s freezing in Germany where I am at the moment and I don’t know about you, but I am definitely looking forward to the warmth of Arabia! …
Biosphere Expedition Diary – Oman 2008 (9.1.2008)
It was all smooth sailing. No delayed flights, transfers waiting, Land Rovers ready, uneventful 6-hour drive from Dubai through the desert to Muscat, Marcelo ready and waiting there. Then we went to where our gear had been stored for the past year in Muscat and it had for some reason, by someone been moved outside into the garden for the past few months …
Biosphere Expedition Diary – Oman 2008 (14.1.2008)
The first team has arrived and settled in at base camp. On the way there we saw Arabian gazelle on the hills and tracks of hyrax and hyaena. After a beautiful sunset making the mountains around us glow golden, we spent some time around the camp fire getting to know each other. …

Biosphere Expedition Diary – Oman 2008 (19.1.2008)
The first week at base is over and we’ve had lots of sightings of gazelles & hyrax, some ibex, signs of wolf and hyaena and also our first signs of leopard during the camel overnight survey. We’ve also been to some communities and talked to local people there. The picture that is emerging from the interviews matches what we find in the field. Gazelles are pretty …

Biosphere Expedition Diary – Oman 2008 (1.2.2008)
We went through extensive field and animal identification training in the first couple of days of the second slot. On Tuesday we ventured out to track and record signs of animals for the first time with the new group. We entered a promising-looking narrow, green wadi. Everybody did well looking for and identifying tracks and scats and of course, most importantly, filling in …
Biosphere Expedition Diary – Oman 2008 (6.2.2008)
Last Sunday the next survey and exploration chapter started. Again we split into two teams. Team one had the task of setting up camera traps. So they headed out with a camel for two nights. Hadi was with them to help decide where the cameras and video cameras should be placed. After successful placement of the traps and a clear night on a mountain ledge under the …
Biosphere Expedition Diary – Oman 2008 (8.2.2008)
We spent the last few days of this year’s expedition re-sampling some promising areas more intensively and carefully, spending more time on ledges and in caves.
To summarise the last four weeks and our efforts, we found three scats in …
