Human responsibility towards the life and well-being of the fellow creature animal begins with education to protect the animal as an individual from avoidable pain, suffering or harm. (BECK, 2007: S. IX)



We're going to help kids see how they can take charge

of their own futures.

1. Questions

Um... have there times ne question!

Why don't birds fly backwards?

The very young researchers need the knowledge to explain the world "step by step".

A global, building up knowledge fund, as a collecting tank of all animal species in real time. A quasi encyclopedia by tribe, order, genus, species, race, sex, age, origin, development and character should help to get answers to questions, students among themselves as well as school classes among each other.

The recognition of animal voices is another already developed as exciting supports.




2. Learning

Animals are the best of friends!

Children's interest in animal topics ranks very high on the popularity scale.

Species-appropriate animal husbandry, the origin of food and the protection of wild animals in nature, are important topics among 10 to 15 year olds, which, however, still play a rather subordinate role in school guidelines and curricula.

faunapool offers all schools and students the chance to make unique learning experiences and that "borderless - around the clock".

Our interactive educational concept is also to be made available in school classrooms.

3. Recognize

Protecting animals and nature starts with the kiddies!

In particular, the topic of invasive alien species, reinforced by the existing climate change and the associated dynamics will be characterized, kids have the opportunity to upload with livescreens photos with notes of animals that seem unusual to them, with localization of the location via GPS, without delay and to trigger productive discussions - no matter where in the world - in real time via sharing.

Of course, relevant research institutions have the opportunity to participate


3. Understand

With pets, children also learn to show affection, respect the boundaries of others and think very carefully about the attitude, care and health.

Where does the schnitzel come from?

When children learn that the sausage comes from a pig, the chicken nuggets from a chicken and the Wiener schnitzel from beef, the little ones don't want to eat meat anymore, because they have understood what factory farming means and there are many things that happen in animal husbandry that are agonizing. They know that animals live in too small a space and are not species-appropriate. Children see that many animals, during their entire lives, have to vegetate on an area as small as the top of their own children's desk.

Children who are allowed to experience nature develop a natural respect for life and the environment. We must support this by modeling love and appreciation for our environment.



The animal sounds of our pets are well known. The grunt of the pigs, the meow of our cat or the crowing of the rooster are recognized even by city dwellers. But would you recognize a raccoon or that of a hissing iguana? In cooperation with researchers from a technical university and a nature conservation institute, the faunatracker media archive is supported with photos, sounds and videos from all over the world.

However, only the animal sound analysis is an important part of "faunatracker", but also the tracking of the routes of animals with GPS signals around the world in real time. After a certain age, kids, as well as adults, can actively participate in certain research projects, when transmittered animals are observed in the wild. In this way, members of the faunavoice community can be a small but valuable help to science.
