FREE ENTRANCE AND PARTICIPATION
BioBlitz Serralves 2018 aims to find and identify as many species (of fauna and flora) as possible, in Serralves Park, in a short period of time - thus functioning as a "lightning-speed biological inventory".Bioblitz differs from other scientific inventories by virtue of the intense effort undertaken to bring together many different people - including specialists from various areas, volunteers, families, students, teachers and other community members - with the common goal of discovering the Biodiversity of a specific location.
SCHOOL PROGRAMMEThis week is reserved for the participation of Schools. Students and teachers are invited to discover the biodiversity of Serralves Park, by participating in the following activities:- Scientific and Pedagogical Workshops, guided by the team of Educators of Serralves’ Arts and Environmental Education Service, who will describe the context and explore 10 themes, from a scientific and pedagogical perspective.- Field trips, led and guided by CIBIO-InBIO’s researchers - offering a unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience of the work undertaken by specialists in the field of Biodiversity inventories.-Games (Bioquiz and Biodiversity "Every monkey on its own branch")- Lipor Pedagogical Games ("Discover Biodiversity" and "Environment and Sustainability")Subjects: Trees and shrubs; Amphibians; Bats; Micro-mammals; Lichens; Bryophytes; Birds; Reptiles; Insects; Mushrooms.Hours: 9:30-12:30 and 14:30-16:30Duration: 1hFull programme: See here (pdf)Access: free participation subject to prior registration (subject to stocking) - entries will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.Registration: fill out the registration form and the pre-registration form (which must be sent by e-mail to the Serralves Foundation Educational Service a / c Anabela Silva - a.silva@serralves.pt).Further information here

By Circolando - Cultural CooperativeWith the support LIPORA cross between installation, public art and performance. Three universes, three approaches and the invitation to circulate. Fragments, choices, loose ends, proximity and water reflected in various states and emotions. Words, storm, ice and blood will eventually forge a common frost. Micro-stories built around the imaginary universe linked to the element of water and climate change. Water-plastic, the poetics of water in the face of deregulation.SAT: 16:00SUN: 11:00Duration: 1hLocation: Tennis Court

What does BioBlitz mean?"Bio” means life and "Blitz” means doing something quickly and intensively.The objective is to find and identify the maximum number of species, in a specific area, a specific area, over a short period of time, functioning as a biological inventory. How does it work?The species are classified into different biological groups, such as plants, lichens, mushrooms, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, birds, micromammals. The end result of a BioBlitz is to count the number of species found in each of these groups. In addition, the Bioblitz Serralves programme offers participation in numerous and diversified activities that allow a transverse and integral approach to Biodiversity, transforming our visitors into ambassadors of knowledge on Biodiversity, enabling them to replicate it within their range of action
Why organise a BioBlitz in Serralves?Serralves Park is a fundamental part of the ecological structure of Porto, contributing to the potential diversity of habitats that occur in urban areas. BioBlitz helps increase existing knowledge and share it with the general public.
Have you found new species in Serralves?Yes. Over the past four editions, dozens of new species have been added to the existing list of species for Serralves Park, particularly in lesser known groups, such as bryophytes, lichens and insects. Of course, the number of new species has been decreasing as we become better acquainted with the Park’s Biodiversity, which does not mean that there are no surprises: last year we discovered a species of insect unknown to date in Portugal!
The Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources, an Associate Laboratory of the University of Porto, is a R & D unit that pursues basic and applied research in the field of biological sciences and, more specifically, in the main components of biodiversity: genes, species and ecosystems.
This Research Centre aims to promote the advancement of scientific knowledge in the aforementioned fields, collaborate in the definition of conservation priorities and management measures with the national and international conservation authorities and train students at the most diverse levels. In addition, in recognition of the importance of improving public understanding and appreciation for Biodiversity, the Centre establishes partnerships with leading institutions, such as the Serralves Foundation, with the objective of promoting scientific dissemination programs, with the involvement of its researchers in such activities.
