Verena Pühringer-Sturmayr, KLF

Our Citizen Science partner "Konrad Lorenz Research Center", running the Citizen Science App "Forschen im Almtal" on the SPOTTERON Platform and initiator of "NestCams", our first collaboration with Zooniverse, started a great initiative. At their research station, they host a colony of Northern Bald Ibis, amazing birds which you can also observe in the "Forschen I'm Almtal" Citizen Science App.

NAMES WANTED FOR IBIS CHICKS!!

Our chicks have been ringed, it's time they get names!
While the chicks of Schreckse and Shannara already accompany their parents to the meadows in the Almtal, the stragglers remain in the nest until they fledge at the age of about 1,5 months.

We are looking forward to your name suggestions for the chicks of:
➡️ Schreckse and Shannara with the initial letter S: 2 chicks
➡ Taska and Tiffi starting with T: 3 chicks
➡ Quetzal and Simon starting with U: 1 chick
Both female and male name suggestions are needed, we do not know the sex of the chicks yet.

You can participate and suggest names directly on their Facebook Page:

Citizen Science Projects by the Konrad Lorenz Research Center / University of Vienna

You can observe and study Northern Bald Ibis' in two Citizen Science projects by the Konrad Lorenz Research Center of the University Vienna, Austria.
First, in "Forschen im Almtal", Citizen Scientists contribute animal behaviour observations from the Wild Game Park Cumberland area, and in NestCams, you can watch short videos of nests and record what the bird is doing and what is happening in the nest.
You can find both projects on the KLF's hub website: https://www.birdscience.net

Horizon 2020 Invasive Species Monitoring App

The IPM-Popillia Horizon 2020 project aims to address the challenge of a new risk to plant health in Europe's agriculture and food safety: the invasion of the Japanese Beetle, Popillia japonica. This invasive species was introduced accidentally to mainland Europe in 2014 and can quickly spread by transportation and trade. As a species with a wide range of feeding plants, P. japonica threatens the entire agricultural sector, urban landscapes, and biodiversity in invaded areas.

Horizon Europe Citizen Science App

EFFECTIVE, a Horizon Europe initiative, targets the emerging threat to the EU's Mediterranean Blue Natural Capital. By leveraging advanced science, technological nature-based solutions, digitalization, and social implication, the project aims to develop a comprehensive scientific knowledge base and practical guidance for the application of Ecosystem-Based Management to promote large-scale marine protected areas establishment in the European seas.

Horizon Europe Citizen Science App

TRANSEATION, funded by Horizon Europe, aims to validate a new level of ecosystem-based management by integrating social implication digitalization and nature-based solutions to safeguard and restore marine ecosystem health and services. The project focuses on demonstrating the effectiveness of marine and coastal hybrid blue-grey infrastructures and developing digital tools for monitoring, analysis, and social involvement, addressing societal challenges and promoting sustainable management practices.

Horizon 2020 Citizen Social Science App

In Europe and globally, substantial numbers of young people are at risk of social exclusion. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop more knowledge and innovation to create inclusive and youth-friendly societies. The Horizon 2020 R&I Project YouCount contributes to these needs by developing 'actionable' knowledge for social inclusion of disadvantaged youths in the European Union and creating better means for social inclusion through citizen social science.

Horizon 2020 Citizen Science App

The impact of plastic pollution on soil health is largely unknown. However, the amounts of plastic entering soils are equal to or possibly even more significant than those entering our rivers, seas, and oceans. MINAGRIS, an EU Horizon 2020 funded project, will investigate how plastic affects soil biodiversity, soil functions, associated ecosystem services, and agricultural productivity.
