The Biomappers project is a European initiative that involves communities around community urban gardens in mapping biodiversity, thus contributing to lifelong learning, environmental awareness and the promotion of biodiversity. Community gardens are crucial hubs for biodiversity conservation within urban landscapes. Through training courses and the use of digital citizen science applications, the project involves community gardens as multipliers and reference points for raising awareness of biodiversity.
This 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.
