KEYTONATURE:OFFICIAL SPOT 2008

KeyToNature: a new e-way to discover biodiversity for European schools

One of the first steps in discovering and understanding biodiversity is to identify the organisms around us. Traditionally this has been done using keys, tools which enable us to correctly name plants and animals. KeyToNature is developing a range of identification tools for use within schools and universities across Europe to increase access and understanding of this process. These tools will be available on a variety of platforms including laptops and mobile phones and some of them can be tailored to individual requirements.

The project mobilises 14 partners from 11 EU countries, including leading centres in biology, pedagogy, education, and information technology.
