Alhamdulillah, Proud to strengthen our collaboration for Oman’s frankincense heritage 🌿🇴🇲 Today I had the pleasure of meeting colleagues at the Agriculture & Livestock Research Department, Dhofar to align on our SRPP-2025 project: Sustainable Growth Inspection and Preservation of Frankincense (Luban) Trees in Dhofar. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ahmed B. Al-Shanfari and his Team for hosting us and for his guidance, and to our partners at The Land of Frankincense Sites (Al-Baleed Frankincense Museum) for their continued trust and support. What we aligned on Field sites & access: Al-Baleed campus plots and Wadi Dawkah as primary monitoring locations. Methods: Weekly drone + ground surveys with AI-assisted photogrammetry/3D models; non-destructive bark/stem imaging; standardized soil moisture/EC tracking. Data & training: Joint protocols, shared dashboards, and student internships; on-site safety/permit refreshers. Nursery link: Coordination with greenhouse teams for sapling trials and best-practice irrigation/soil amendments. Outreach: Museum/University mini-exhibit on frankincense ecology, technology, and conservation. Agenda 1. Complete baseline stem/bark and soil profiles for the tagged trees. 2. Expand 3D reconstructions for canopy/structural assessments and time-series change detection. Grateful to work with dedicated colleagues Dr. Abdul Aziz and Dr. Nasser Tabuk who care deeply about safeguarding Oman’s living heritage. Together, we will turn rigorous science into practical conservation benefits for frankincense landscapes. #Frankincense #Dhofar #Oman #Heritage #Conservation #SRPP #AI #Drones #Photogrammetry #Sustainability #OmanVision2040 #Collaboration
