Record biodiversity
Take part in our actions and help searching for specific animals, insects, plants and invasive species.
Here below you will find some species we are looking for. To find out more about these species, click on the info icon "i" under the picture. There you will also find a description in order to better recognize the species.
Do you want to participate? Then note where you have seen one or more of these species. Select the species and click on the "+" symbol to enter your observation.
Observations are stored in the Museum's biodiversity database and made available to the public. This should make it easier for citizens to familiarize themselves with the topic biodiversity. These data allow to examine the distribution of species and to find out whether species have been declining. Protective measures can thus be better defined and adapted.
