On the trail of nature
GEO Nature Day
Only what we know and understand will we respect and protect.
Motto of the GEO Day
Two days in June
During the last GEO Day on 14/15 June 2019, some exciting things came to light. The 30 or so experts who took part identified a total of 1,324 species of fungi, animals and plants around Müstair. Among them were some first records for Graubünden and the Val Müstair, such as the beetle species spotted tooth weevil (Thamiocolus signatus) and sessile flea beetle (Dibolia rugulosa) as well as the common club wasp (Monosapyga clavicornis) or the brook foamwort (Cardamine rivularis). Examples like these demonstrate the richness of species in the Biosfera Val Müstair.
