Within the framework of OurMED project, a specialized training workshop on “Classification of Insects as Bioindicators of Water System Health in the Mujib Basin” was held at the headquarters of the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN). The event brought together researchers and research assistants from the University of Jordan and the RSCN, with the aim of strengthening their practical skills and scientific knowledge in the field of aquatic biodiversity monitoring.
The two-day training focused on the use of freshwater insect species as biological indicators for assessing the ecological health of freshwater systems.
Experts emphasized the growing importance of bioindicators in environmental research and conservation, especially in fragile ecosystems like the Mujib Basin, a key area for biodiversity and freshwater resources in Jordan.
This collaborative initiative reflects a shared commitment between academia and conservation institutions to promote evidence-based approaches to water management and to empower young researchers with the tools needed to support sustainable environmental practices.
