Today’s featured #SciFund Challenge project is Can we save Collserola National Park? by Jorge Mederos.

Collserola Park
Collserola Park: on the edge of Barcelona, Spain.

This project is awesome, not least because it’s my voice on the video! But there is a lot more to like about this project. The project is based in Collserola Park, which is on the edge of Barcelona, Spain. Collserola is the biggest urban park in the world and, at 85 square kilometers, it is 22 times larger than New York City’s famed Central Park. Collserola is an oasis of nature in a highly urban landscape, containing well over a thousand plants species and hundreds of vertebrate species.
