My name is
Clément Crozet and I’m from France. I’m in Saudi Arabia to work about
Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility for a company
called MaSa. It’s a company providing Potable Water, Sea Water Cooling
and Reclaimed water for Jubail and Yanbu Industrial cities. One part of
the water in Sabkhat Al-Fasl comes from our Waste Water plants.
We would like
to set up a campaign of cleaning around Sabkhat Al-Fasl with the participation
of our employees and also to set up an awareness campaign of our employees and
public about wetland, water treatment and biodiversity. We will invite school
children, our employees and families to discover our activities (Reclaim Water,
Sea Water Cooling and Potable Water) and to discover the biodiversity (visit to
Sabkhat Al-Fasl).
We are
planning to have this event in October, 2014. It will be a three day event:
•
One day for cleanup Sabkhat;
•
One day for school children;
•
One day for the community of Jubail.
We would
really appreciate to benefit from your expertise. Indeed, we are looking for
some ornithologists able to make discover the world of birds to our employees,
school children and the inhabitants of Jubail. We are not expecting keen
birders but just people that can show their passion to other people and
increase their awareness of the wildlife surrounding the Jubail area.
We already
did some wildlife visits with our employees (pictures attached). The success of
these visits went beyond our expectations and we are about to plan additional
ones. It demonstrates that people want to learn more about wildlife in Saudi
Arabia. All the employees were really impressed to see that this former desert
is becoming a nice place for biodiversity thanks to reclaimed water.
You will find
below some pictures of birds and animals that we saw during our wildlife visits
.
If you are
interested to step in this event of raising awareness with us and other
specialists of the water treatment, please let us know at the following mail

Thank you.
