PhotoNaturae is an educational and popularizing student project with the purpose of enriching the database of photographs of the wildlife in the area of significant landscape Jelas polje. In addition to that, participants of the project and the general public will be educated about how wildlife photography can contribute to the conservation and protection of nature.
Activities:
Lectures
- Basics of photography – Tomislav Mikić
- Croatian nature – Goran Šafarek
- Accidental discoveries of new species via iNaturalist – Niko Kasalo
- Behind the lens of macro journey – Kristian Medak
A series of lectures prepared the participants for the field trips and introduced them better to the idea of the project.
Field trips
- Spring field trip (25.-27.4.2025.)
- Summer field trip (18.-20.7.2025.)
- Autmn field trip (03.-05.2025.)
Field trips are held in the same area throughout the three seasons in order to photograph the change in habitat and the change in the occurrence of species throughout the year. The collected data is transferred to the iNaturalist and Biologer platforms.
Exhibition
The photography exhibition will be held in December at the Brod Regional Museum (Slavonski Brod), and we will use it to present the results and photographed natural beauties to the general public.
