City Nature Challenge 2025, ISPRA promotes Citizen Science activities in Rome
The 2025 edition of the City Nature Challenge (CNC) will be held from 25 to 28 April, an international competition between citizens of hundreds of cities around the world to document biodiversity and spread the culture of environmental protection.
In this context, ISPRA is promoting two Citizen Science activities in Rome.
The ISPRA National Biodiversity Network promotes a Citizen Science activity at the Pineto Regional Urban Park to discover the residual vegetation of a Mediterranean forest in the heart of Rome.
Participants will be accompanied by researchers from the Institute along a route of about 3 km during which the topics relating to the importance of land management and the Natura 2000 Network, lichens as bioindicators and bioaccumulators for monitoring air quality will be discussed. The endemic species present along the route will be described up to the description of the residual vegetation typical of the Mediterranean environment and the bird species present in the visited area will be "listened to".
