TRD started at breakfast in Sweden!

Back to News

The Botanical Gardens and Natural History Museum of Gothenburg partnered to celebrate the Taxonomy Recognition Day. Politicians and educators were invited to a breakfast discussion to explore the current state of taxonomic education and consider potential actions for its improvement.

They also organized a bioblitz in the gardens, open to public participation. A bioblitz is an event where participants attempt to identify as many species as possible within a designated area and time frame.

Taxonomy Recognition Day, celebrated on May 23rd to coincide with Carl Linnaeus’ birthday, is particularly significant for our Swedish partners, as Linnaeus was from Sweden.
