“Friends of the Environment Centre”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The FEC has taken an active role in raising local awareness of the negative effects associated with tobacco smoking. Methods employed include organizing international conferences^[4] and preparing studies detailing its economic, health and environmental effects.^[5]

An annual event known as A Flower Each Spring is organized by the FEC to promote environmental awareness.^[6] During the event, numerous field trips and fairs are held with the aim of acquainting participants with Qatar's local fauna.^[7] The inaugural edition took place in 1999.^[8]

In November 2012, a conference known as the Children’s Conference on Climate Change (C4) was jointly launched by the FEC and Kainat Foundation. Operating in a similar manner to Model United Nations, the purpose of the event was to provide a platform for youth to discuss environmental problems and solutions.^[9]

FEC, in partnership with South African company Sasol, launched the Qatar e-Nature application for smart phones in December 2013. Initially, the application only contained a database of the flora, birds and insects present within the country. Its database was updated in November 2014 to cover local mammals and reptiles.^[10] In April 2015, the application was conferred the "Best Arab Government Smart Application" award at the Smart Government Awards.^[11]

It was announced in May 2015 that the organization had released the first-ever field guide to birds in Qatar. The book contains information and depictions of 323 bird species that appear in the country.^[12]
