Virtual Museum of Biodiversity

The Virtual Museum of Biodiversity (MVBIO) is a project of “Rui Nabeiro” Biodiversity Chair and has as a goal the dissemination of biodiversity in Portugal. To achieve its purpose MVBIO intends to pursue three objectives:

  • Supporting teachers of primary and secondary education programs, providing them with a database on diversity of Portuguese fauna and flora;
  • Provide youngsters with an easy and exciting way to learning about the diversity of animals, plants, and fungi in Portugal;
  • Provide teachers and students educational games for teaching / learning.

The MVBIO builds up with the collaboration of all stakeholders as well. Therefore, visitors should feel free to send us questions, comments, suggestions, and contributions.
