Every Species Has a Story: Biodiversity, Culture & Community Knowledge
Every species carries a story.
A story of ecosystems, communities, traditional knowledge, and our relationship with nature.
Join Climate Entertainment and Govardhan App for an interactive workshop exploring how mobile technology, citizen science, and community knowledge can help document biodiversity, preserve cultural heritage, and strengthen conservation efforts.
Through a live demonstration of the Govardhan App, participants will learn how to identify, document, and map species while exploring how biodiversity data can support conservation, education, research, and climate action.
The session will include hands-on biodiversity mapping activities around the Bonn Climate Camp and discussions on how communities worldwide can contribute to protecting nature through digital innovation.
Whether you're a climate activist, biodiversity enthusiast, student, researcher, or simply curious about the species around you, this workshop offers practical tools to turn observations into action.
