Biodiversity in South Tyrol: a data visualization
Iraitz Gerriko Mujika Margherita Poli
A myriad of species, from plants, invertebrates, bats and birds, to small and large mammals, make their homes in and amongst built environments; plants find their way into every niche and crack unless they are constantly removed, birds and bats nest in artificial constructions.
This data visualization project highlights the current status of 541 species (among six main families - grasshoppers, vascular plants, birds, bats, butterflies) found in six urban areas of South Tyrol, drawing on insights and local data from Eurac's biodiversity monitoring program.
Additionally, it addresses concerns about biodiversity loss among younger generations, explores the key drivers of this decline, and seeks to raise awareness about the importance of ecosystems and the threats they face from the rapid transformation of habitats.
