\nThe Wonder of Ants & The OKEON Churamori Project<\/strong>
\nDid you know that there are over 12000 described species of ants? Though ants are ubiquitous, they are infact very interesting creatures and fascinate not only the general public but also researchers. Similar to humans, they create their own society with each individual playing a role to accomplish tasks. Let\u2019s experience together the profound world of ants.
\nWe will display the efforts and the results of our environmental monitoring network, the OKEON Churamori Project.
