Citizen Science and National Biodiversity Network: Life BIOREPEM project

Less pollution, more sustainable cities

What can municipal administrators and each of us do individually to reduce the use of biocides? We will talk about it with the researchers of the BIOREPEM Project which has the main objective of raising awareness among public administrations and citizens about reducing the use of biocides for mosquitoes and rodents in urban environments. The advanced technologies used in two project areas - Municipality of Fiumicino and Municipality of Francavilla al Mare - will be illustrated for the monitoring and targeted control of infestations, including high-tech electro-mechanical traps for the massive capture of rats and mosquitoes.

The functions of the mobile APP for use by operators for field data collection will be illustrated. It will also be possible to explore the data archive of the distribution of mosquito species in Italy recently published in the NNB infrastructure and the results achieved to date by BIOREPEM will be illustrated with the aim of promoting a replicable ecological management model of Integrated Pest Management and transferable to other Administrations.
