MINKA_Danube Delta Open Living Lab

This platform enables users to collaboratively validate observations, including expert taxonomic identification. Once data meets quality criteria, it achieves "research grade" status and is shared with global infrastructures like the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

Recognized as a UN Acceleration Action for SDGs, MINKA contributes significantly to SDGs 11, 14, 15, and 17 by working with diverse stakeholders. The Danube Delta Open Living Lab project, part of MINKA, is created in the context of PHAROS EU project and focuses on documenting and monitoring observations of land and aquatic organisms in the region of the Danube Delta and surrounding areas. Additionally, data of the biodiversity registrations from the entire territory of Ukraine can also be added to the dataset.
