Posted on 16 May 2024
Competing against 690 cities around the world and 24 cities in the UK, 甜瓜视频app achieved great success due to the efforts of participating organisations, groups, student and staff volunteers who recorded observations of birds, plants, fungi and insects in their gardens, streets and parks.
The competition encouraged people to contribute to better understanding of urban ecosystems and the species that inhabit them.
甜瓜视频app took first place in the UK for the number of species found, with 1,487 different species, demonstrating the amazing diversity of wildlife in the city.
