About FotoQuest Austria

Large forests make up almost half of Austria’s landscape, while farmland and grasslands make up about 20% each. Change, however, is happening everywhere. Daily in Austria, 190,000 m2 of land is built over for new commercial, residential and transportation use. With increased urban expansion comes higher risk of flooding. Meanwhile, Austria’s wetlands, which store large amounts of CO2, are shrinking, but we don’t know by how much as they have not been measured in 25 years. As wetlands become drained, they release this CO2 into the environment with important climate change implications.

Scientists lack reliable data on land cover needed for sustainable development, climate change research, and nature conservation. To protect Austria’s beautiful and varied landscapes for future generations, we must take stock of its land cover today, and you can help with the FotoQuest Austria app on your smartphone! Besides enjoying the outdoors and collecting important data for science, you also have a chance to earn points to win prizes!

Nice to get hints for exploring surroundings if you are traveling. The app works fine offline and uploading your photos later when you are back in your home wi-fi network is very fast.
