There are also several ways in which to contribute to the protection and conservation of the world’s migrating animals
CitiZen Science: collect wing samples
Stable isotopes extracted from wing samples can tell us where migrant dragonflies came from. The project is currently looking for samples from several migrant dragonfly species, please send us yours!
Citizen Science: report your observation!
If you see a migrating dragonfly or bird, there are ways of documenting your observations
Citizen Science: Collect dragonfly Skins!
Dragonfly nymphs leave their skins, the exuviae, when they shed it to emerge as flying dragonflies. Collect it !
coming soon:
