As part of the activity “Wildlife Detective: Revealing the Invisible Wildlife Around You,” pupils and teachers will be introduced to innovative approaches to monitoring biodiversity using modern genetic methods. These methods enable the understanding and investigation of numerous animal characteristics (what they feed on, the environment they live in, whether their populations in nature are stable, the extent of their resistance to diseases, how to identify overall biodiversity in a single reaction, etc.). Pupils and teachers will also learn the basics of field research, namely how to obtain appropriate genetic samples from the environment (environmental DNA) or from animals (e.g. collecting hair, droppings, and other animal traces), which make it possible to obtain a wide range of data important for the conservation, management, and understanding of animal characteristics. Participants will also take part in so-called eDNA bingo, which was developed within the larger international project Biodiversity Genomics Europe. The goal of the interactive game will be to identify invisible organisms based on DNA sequences that we will “find” in our samples.
