Aims
Corfu (Kerkyra) has a comparatively rich Odonata fauna and we have recently, in cooperation with The International Dragonfly Fund (IDF) published a first overview (Stille, M. & Stille, B. 2018. The Dragonflies of Corfu. IDF Report 116. 237 pp.). As there is no water management plan and a huge influx of tourists, leading to high water consumption and a presently uncontrolled garbage situation on the island, there is a distinct potential threat to dragonflies, as well as many other groups. The need for increased awareness among residents, as well as visitors, is consequently essential for the protection of the dragonflies and their habitats. To support this, a website and a supporting Facebook page will be created, through which approved members should be able to enter data. The data will be used for e.g. periodic reports in cooperation with IDF.
