Grant Activity:
Minibeasts in MyCity
Purpose:
Minibeasts in MyCity is a new Perth science project that will deputise local citizens to join the effort to map biodiversity, help protect our food and environment, and contribute to better designed cities the world over. People can spot and report invertebrates using the MyPestGuide Reporter app in a campaign which is focused on biodiversity and urban ecology. People can report minibeasts in their suburbs or at special sites and activities in the City of Perth, where that information will help the city develop its biodiversity framework. The initiative also allows people to hear from local expert entomologists and Aboriginal people, and includes public talks and displays on biodiversity, taxonomy, urban design, community gardening, and junior curator workshops. Minibeasts in MyCity is being coordinated by the Western Australian Museum, the City of Perth, Murdoch University and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
