▶Objectives
EMBRACE project, tailored to the ERASMUS+ Horizontal Priorities for the environment and fight against climate change, aims to build outputs for the promotion of climate change resilience through Butterfly Monitoring while enabling citizens and professional stakeholders alike to participate in data collection that is currently lacking for many butterfly species and contribute to their protection and management at local and national scale.
▶Activities
A total of 5 activities will be implemented through EMBRACE. Activity 1 will promote Butterfly monitoring and climate change resilience through educational courses while activity 2 will aim to engage stakeholders in butterfly recognition using e-museum. A replicability e-package (activity 3) will concentrate additional resources for enhancing the participation of stakeholders in Butterfly Monitoring. The further uptake of EMBRACE outputs will be promoted through two local Multiplier events.
▶Impact
The project will deliver tools and VET material that is currently lacking for butterfly fauna in order to train approximately 100 stakeholders, in issues related to strengthening climate change resilience through Butterfly Monitoring. Some examples of the project results: 1) e-course, 2) butterfly e-museum, c) replicability e-package for VET activities targeting knowledge enhancement on Butterfly Monitoring literacy and climate change.
