Popis:	The global biodiversity crisis is becoming one of the key challenges for the global community. At the same time, hands-on knowledge of local biodiversity is decreasing among young people, replaced by information about global issues and/or artificial products provided by the media. While information and computer technologies (ICT) are blamed for the alienation of people from the natural world surrounding them, they may also be used for education about wildlife. The article describes a case study of the use of ICT for education about local biodiversity. A progressive web app (PWA) as a universal software solution for all types of devices was used for creating a virtual educational path within the biodiversity-rich urban park. The PWA complements and expands existing educational facilities, provides a multimedia experience when learning about local biodiversity, and introduces elements of gamification to increase the motivation of users.
