Description

This project aims to promote and increase the participation of citizens in initiatives related to biodiversity monitoring, particularly through their voluntary involvement in monitoring programmes on the status of birds in Portugal. The project aims to develop new species censuses, improve the management of volunteers already involved in these types of censuses, recruit new volunteers, and increase visibility of the information collected from bird monitoring and observation programmes. More than 350 volunteers will be involved in the seminars, workshops and training sessions held, and communication materials will be produced on the importance of volunteering in citizen science projects.
