University campuses are a great place to measure biodiversity and engage young (and old) people with nature awareness, research and conservation. That's why more and more universities are creating Nature Realms on Guardians of Earth - and participating in the April/October BioQuests, or year-round through apps like Spirits of the Realms, or the Oracle of Life.
