inatura - Erlebnis Naturschau Dornbirn

The inatura Erlebnis Naturschau GmbH in Dornbirn is Vorarlberg's natural history competence centre and a model of a modern, interactive natural history museum. It is the most important regional institution for scientific research, collection, preservation, documentation, exhibition, information and advice on natural history topics and phenomena. In the field of research and consulting, inatura defines itself as a central documentation centre for Vorarlberg's nature. It is a hub for scientific research in Vorarlberg and centrally collects scientific data and evidence material with a reference to the state. Both the collection holdings and observation data of plants, fungi and animals are managed in a distribution database. Thus the inatura fulfils the legally enshrined mandate of coordinating and handling research funding from the state of Vorarlberg and providing information to the general public, authorities and experts.
