Data owned by Brussels Capital Region, collected by RBINS (Patrick Grootaerts & Alain Drumont). Both are willing to publish this inventory dataset on GBIF. Inventory has shown the richness of this relatively small area(5 ha). 50 Citizen Scientists did participate to the inventory so far. Waiting fundings to continue the inventory. This insects/arachnids inventory will become a reference for Belgium. Would be nice to add citizen science and urban biodiversity tags, if they exist.

Hi @andrejjh - is there any update on this dataset?

Project is over with more than 3000 species found in this urban garden inventory. See this presentation on researchGate. I'm recontacting the authors right now.
