Many plant and animal species in Germany are threatened with extinction. But what is the actual state of biodiversity in our country? Researchers at the University of Würzburg now want to find out with a BioBlitz. The idea: a citizen-based data collection in which everyone can participate. For 24 hours, from noon on June 17 to noon on June 18, 2023, interested citizens will record as many animal and plant species as possible on agricultural land at Hubland - all under the guidance of experienced scientists. At the BioBlitz, visitors can be biologists themselves for a day," explains Sarah Redlich from the Department of Zoology III, German project manager of the ConservES project, which organizes the event and in which the University of Würzburg is involved.
