Interpretive signage for the protection of the Common Sandpiper
For my Thesis of the M.Sc. Science in Sustainable Resource Management at the Technical University of Munich (2023), I worked with the Ammergauer Alpen Nature Park in Germany for the optimization of interpretive signage for wildlife protection. I researched what makes signs more attractive and efficient in delivering information, and thus avoiding wildlife disturbance. I have designed and illustrated several prototypes of signs, and this is the final version based on qualitative interviews.
For this project, I worked with the common sandpiper, a vulnerable species that nests along riverbanks.
