The Nature & Science foundation is an NGO, declared in the year 2008 under the ministry of solidarity, registry number 1443 – 2010. The idea of the NGO aroused from the need to continue the work of the BioMap project after the end of the fund. NSF aims at bringing together  science and communities to conserve biological diversity. This is with the objectives of raising capacities of specialists, making scientific material available for field and awareness work, raising the awareness of the public about biodiversity and engaging them in the scientific work to support scientists and scientific research. 

Main Activities:

1. Documenting the biodiversity of Egypt through production of books and field guides for different groups such as butterflies, odonatan, wasps, mammals and others.

2. Conducting research through citizen science. Our first and most distinctive project was our partnership with Operation Wallacea (2005 – 2011) to monitor and atlas the biodiversity of south Sinai. This is in addition to two more current projects run by the help of communities. First, the “Garden Wildlife Watch” in eastern desert gardens, mainly Ahmed Orabi Agricultural Association and similar areas and the “Malaise trap school project” introducing insects and some taxonomic and genetic aspects.

3. Raising awareness of the children and youth about the role biodiversity plays in our lives and the threats it faces through stories and films with educational purposes and other school awareness programmes.
