Let's count butterflies?
Introductional workshop to the identification and monitoring of species of common daytime butterflys in Portugal. The regular counting of butterflies carried out by trained volunteers through a citizen science's method used throughout Europe allows to calculate populational tendencies of these insets and to infer about the conservation status of the ecossystems. In this therotical-practical activity we'll get to know the methodologies used and learn to identify the most common species of portuguese butterflies and, who knows, maybe recruit future volunteers!
