Every year around World Animal Day, we go on safari in our own gardens looking for the important but often overlooked soil animals. This year marks the 11th edition of the Soil Animal Days. The annual event organised by a growing number of partners, is now welcoming observations all year round and including from countries outside the Netherlands!
If you've access to a garden, park, schoolyard or other spot, you can join our citizen science project by downloading the chart and looking for soil animals.
More details of how, what and where are on the special Bodemdierendagen-website.
NIOO is the main organiser of this citizen science project.
