Day of biodiversity in July 2026

Dear MoFA members and friends of malacology!

On 11. July 2026, the annual Day of Biodiversity in Tyrol will take place in the Ötztal valley, just as it was in 2007. During the Day of Biodiversity in 2007, not a single mollusc species was recorded due to a lack of local malacologists – a situation we hope to change this year. We are therefore looking for (prospective) malacologists who could assist our on-site malacologist, amongst other things, with the field surveys on 11 July, or with the follow-up species determinations of collected shells for the final species list.

Please register directly with the organiser, and for the mollusc group, please also briefly contact a MoFA member on-site for coordination purposes.
