Our logo represents five elements that can be commonly seen in UAE: The Arabian Oryx, The Palm Tree, The coastline of Arabian Ocean, The Desert and The Sky.
The Arabian Oryx is one of the natural conservation priorities in the region because of its heritage and biological value. Before the union, the Arabian Oryx numbers have begun to decrease and threatened with extinction due to human and urban development. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan had a special interest and care towards the environment and had established many protected areas and issued environmental laws and regulations to ensure the sustainability of this natural wealth، May Allah rest his soul in peace. Based on the successful story of reviving the Arabian Oryx on the region, it is chosen as the logo to represent The International Biology Olympiad that will be hosted by United Arab Emirates in 2023. We are looking forward to send a message to all participants and the world about the importance of conservation of wildlife and protection of natural resources.
UAE is honoured to host the 34th IBO, the world’s most prestigious scientific Olympiad, in Al Ain from 2nd to 11th July, 2023.
