Objectives
Reinforce knowledge of a taxonomic group of the student's choice
Strengthening the personal approach to identification

During the semester, particular attention will be paid to collecting and sharing naturalist data, in line with SINP recommendations. Students will learn to use databases such as Faune France, iNaturalist, Observado etc. on a regular basis.)
