Travelling during the pandemic is sometimes a challenge. Finding out what exact measures apply in different countries is like a maze. Each place has its own rules, but also locating them on some government website can be daunting.

Monitoring biodiversity is a challenge, and for Naturalis it is mainly in the area of data. The biodiversity centre relies on observations by volunteers for their research into the distribution and movement of, for example, butterfly species.
