Urbanization, monoculture, and the vulnerability of protected natural areas contribute to the loss of numerous species each year worldwide. A well-functioning ecosystem relies on all its components, all living organisms—losing any of them should serve as an alarm for local communities and policymakers. However, understanding these cases as part of a larger ecological issue can be challenging. Learning about species and their needs helps us recognize the correlation between human intervention and its impact on biodiversity. In this sense, citizen science projects hold immense educational potential, making nature conservation issues accessible to everyone, fostering community development, and encouraging a sense of collective responsibility.
The exhibition featured educational games developed by NECC to support species learning for all ages. The second section showcased citizen science projects from Romania led by Milvus Group. The final section provided resources for those interested in exploring further: apps, websites, and field guides that facilitate individual study and species identification. The exhibition concludes with an invitation: sit at our microscope and observe everyday objects from a new perspective.
