123... Nature! - What is it?

The goal of this project is to collect data on approximately twenty animal and plant species that serve as indicators of a healthy and well-preserved environment. These observations will help improve our understanding of local biodiversity and identify the measures needed to preserve it.

Since 2021, more than 2,000 observations have been recorded on the “Nos Voisins Sauvages Lausanne-Morges” online platform. Among the most frequently observed species are lizards, hedgehogs, spotted salamanders, red squirrels, and various species of butterflies. These species are all associated with natural habitats found in the Lausanne-Morges metropolitan area: wooded areas, deadwood, meadows, bodies of water, low walls, etc.

A guide lists the species targeted by the project and helps you know when and where to observe them. It also suggests simple actions you can take to support biodiversity in your garden.
