Biodiversity is a value that must be protected everywhere and the protection of biodiversity is becoming a central pillar of public and environmental policies. The state, businesses and the third sector can work together to promote widespread biodiversity safeguarding, with the support of Citizen Science, with a view to sustainable and intergenerational development.
The Biomappers project comes along in this context. It is an European initiative that involves communities around community urban gardens in mapping biodiversity, thus contributing to lifelong learning, environmental awareness and the promotion of biodiversity.
The Biomappers report is the result of desk research and field study and highlights the policies and regulatory framework for biodiversity protection, existing conservation strategies and good practices in participatory digital biodiversity mapping in the three partner countries of the project, Austria, Italy and Hungary.
