“…The portal allows committed citizens, via an online-entry, to capture their visual and geo-referenced observations of species, which are judged by scientifically trained experts, and then released for the official nature conservation as well as for scientific analysis (JACOBS & RESCH 2013). Besides this example, there is a variety of other citizen science activities on environmental issues at local, regional, national, international, and global levels in areas such as biodiversity, air pollution, or in the recording of the changing shapes of cities (ALAGAN & ALADUWAKA 2013, CORRIGAN & HAY-EDIE 2013, DAVIS et al 2011.…”

Digital geomedia has an enormous potential for the activation of citizens and organizations in the area of ecological and spatial awareness. By means of the new spatial media, the civil society is given the opportunity to acquire information and knowledge on environmental aspects. At the same time, they can collect new georeferenced data independently, and contribute this data to the scientific community. The purpose of this paper is to contribute a practical approach to promote a sustainable biodiversity management and monitoring system in combination with an education system in Cabo Verde. The underlying theoretical framework for the design of the participatory Biodiversity Information System (BIS) is set by the critical GIS-debate. The project is based on educational approaches of environmental citizenship and spatial citizenship, which explicitly take into account aspects of participation, empowerment, and capacity building. The result of this paper aims at implementing a cooperation between citizens and scientists in the area of biodiversity in Cabo Verde.
