Germany Launches Seventh Annual 'Insect Summer' Citizen Science Project

Participants across the country will spend an hour counting insects to help track biodiversity and climate change effects.

The Nature And Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) organizes the event, encouraging public participation in insect counting.
The project aims to raise awareness about insect populations and their ecological importance.
Data from the counts will provide insights into trends and the impact of climate change.
No special equipment is needed; participants can use a form or mobile app to report sightings.
The event runs from May 31 to June 9 and August 2 to 11, covering different seasonal insect activities.
