BOOKMARKS

Download and print your own DNA barcoding bookmarks! Each bookmark briefly explains one practical application of DNA barcode data and techniques. Print on cardstock (if possible, any paper will work) and cut at the inner crop markings.

Colouring Pages

As part of our celebration of the International Day of Biodiversity (May 22, 2020) we created a few fun colouring pages featuring insects from around the world. Perfect for kids or adults! Please share your creations on social media and tag International Barcode of Life (@ iBOLConsortium) with photos of your amazing artwork, as we would love to feature it!

Expect more activities as we continue to create and share content that celebrates the biodiversity of our living planet.
