Hamad Al Khulaifi is a wildlife photographer, environmental researcher, trainer in environmental culture, and the founder of Environmental Lens, in which a team of bird watchers visit farms and reserves and photograph birds to register the name of the bird, its shape, location and time of sighting into a database at the Qatari Ministry or other international organizations. He has devoted years to documenting the wildlife of Qatar, once reportedly spending two years in the wild to document a Pharaoh Eagle-Owl. The stockpile of images on his social media platforms \u2014 Instagram<\/a> and Twitter \u2014 also include photos of birds from Turkey and northern India, where 1,200 species of birds reside, and where he was able to photograph 180 species in a single day.<\/p>\n Al Khulaifi\u2019s interest in documenting Qatar\u2019s wildlife began in 2017 with the aim of capturing animals\u2019 movements in a uniquely artistic style that would allow each photo to tell its own story. Khulaifi\u2019s photos manage to capture the distinctive environment of Qatar, which is home to Asiatic jackals, Cape hares, horned vipers, spiny-tailed lizards, long-legged desert hedgehogs, red foxes, sand cats, striped hyenas, Arabian sand gazelles, Wagner’s gerbils, and the Arabian Oryx.<\/p>\n
