By observing selected species, applying nature-friendly gardening practices, and reflecting on your environmental mindset, you\u2019ll contribute to real scientific research<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of the project is a combination of scientific research and practical measures. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Observation and reporting of so-called bioindicator species<\/strong>, such as the peacock butterfly, common carder bee, great spotted woodpecker, common frog, or hedgehog, via the platform <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naturbeobachtung.at\">naturbeobachtung.at<\/a>. The goal is to make both common and rarer species in garden environments visible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Individual support for creating a more nature-friendly garden<\/strong>, for example through information sheets with concrete actions to promote biodiversity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Webinars and online seminars<\/strong> on topics such as native shrubs, creating flower meadows, garden ponds, or dry habitats. These offerings are optional but provide practical inspiration and background knowledge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interaction with other participants and the project team<\/strong> through networking meetings, online events, and joint observation activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular online questionnaires<\/strong> that gather information on garden use, attitudes toward nature, knowledge of biodiversity, and changes over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participation is <strong>free and flexible<\/strong>. You decide how actively you want to be involved \u2013 every observation and all feedback is valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n  \n  \n  <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Register as a Citizen Scientist<\/strong><\/p>\n  \n\n  \n  <div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"justify-content: center; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 30px;\">\n    \n    \n    <div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n      <a \n        class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" \n        href=\"https:\/\/survey.joanneum.at\/index.php\/186828?lang=de\" \n        target=\"_blank\" \n        rel=\"noopener\"\n        style=\"background-color: #5b8fbf; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 6px;\">\n        <strong>Here<\/strong>\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    \n\n  <\/div>\n  \n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Help shape the future of biodiversity \u2014 right from your own garden!BIODIVERCITI is a multi-year citizen science project exploring how private gardens can protect biodiversity [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-155","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biodiverciti.joanneum.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biodiverciti.joanneum.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biodiverciti.joanneum.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biodiverciti.joanneum.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biodiverciti.joanneum.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/biodiverciti.joanneum.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/155\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biodiverciti.joanneum.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
