In the last stop of the cross-Balkan journey “BLKN Mobile Forum”, the artists, cultural operators and the project’s organisation members go to a fieldwork research for exploring the natural heritage of the lake Pamvotida in Ioannina, Greece.
We meet Dimitris Papageorgiou, biologist, researcher and the Bioblitz by the lake. The activity focuses on finding and identifying species on the lakeside of Pamvotida, which is the lake of the city of Ioannina. We walk along the banks paying attention to what surrounds us, to listen, observe and smell.
Dimitris talks to us about vegetation and fish fauna but he also talks about the actions taken by citizens to avoid pollution and the actions taken to protect the environment and natural heritage.
Bioblitz is a citizen science activity which involves public participation and collaboration in scientific research, with the aim to create new knowledge and understanding.
