The Pollinators Monitoring Scheme of Kypros (PoMS-Ký) or Επικονοιαζόμαστε (in Greek) is a citizen or community science project that was developed during Darwin Plus projects DPlus 056 and DPlus 088. It is a collaboration between our laboratory and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. It is inspired by POMS in UK but it focuses on the Cypriot flora and entomofauna. The programme is currently tested during DPlusFellowship 101. The main aim of the project is to raise awareness regarding the importance of pollinators and to encourage citizens of all ages to start recording insect pollinators on native and non-native plants Our project was selected by the European Commission and this video featuring our work aims at promoting pollinators' recording in all European countries |
