About Hello Maestro Montréal

With Hello Maestro Montreal, discover the variety of animals and plants in Montreal!

Hello Maestro Montreal is an exploratory game in augmented reality that can be played in the green spaces, gardens and alleys of Montreal.

Dive into the world of the famous cartoon "Once upon a time" for an original exploration of the diversity of Montreal's flora and fauna. With Hello Maestro, children learn to be little gardeners in the service of the island's biodiversity!

Hello Maestro is a playful journey where imagination is discovered around the corner of a small alley, near a century-old tree or in the heart of a large park lawn.

Objective of the game? To improve biodiversity on the island by encouraging the development of fauna and flora: insects, butterflies, birds, small (and large) animals, plants, trees...

Maestro invites Montrealers to explore (little-known) spaces around their homes and to leave their neighbourhoods for unknown spaces in other neighbourhoods, on the lookout for new species


PLANTS, INSECTS, ANIMALS...

With Hello Maestro Montreal, visit the 700 parks in Montreal and discover the wealth of biodiversity by collecting butterflies.


VULNERABLE SPECIES

Beware, some species are considered "vulnerable"!

In Montreal, available data indicates that some 40 plant species and 20 wildlife species with a precarious status are found on the territory (source: 2013 report on biodiversity in Montreal). These include the map turtle, the brown snake, the big brown bat and the monarch butterfly. For reasons of habitat protection, no specific reference to their location will be given in the sheets.

INVASIVE SPECIES

This is a relatively less known aspect of the threat to biodiversity: invasive species, both animal and plant. In Montreal, a dozen or so exotic plants represent a threat to biodiversity and the ecological integrity of the large parks (Manitoba maple, Norway maple, glossy buckthorn, European buckthorn, Siberian elm, garlic mustard, woodruff, cynomolgus, egopod, Japanese knotweed, sakhalin knotweed and common reed). As for the animals, the best known species is the ash borer.
