BioBlitz

Last October 16, the Autumn Bioblitz was held at Quinta de Recreio do Marquês de Pombal.

Last October 16, the Autumn Bioblitz was held at Quinta de Recreio do Marquês de Pombal, under the project "21_SGS#3_More Pollinators, More Biodiversity in the Municipality of Oeiras". Participants were challenged to identify and record species on iNaturalist (citizen science mobile app), over the course of a day that was divided into five expert-led routes dedicated to different biodiversity groups: birds, plants, insects, amphibians and reptiles, and, at the end of the day, lichens.

Thanks to this citizen science effort, it was possible to identify more than a hundred different species.

The results of this initiative are available through the project page: https://www.biodiversity4all.org/projects/bioblitz-quinta-de-recreio-do-marques-de-pombal-oeiras-2021
