Comments Off on Help biodiversity by becoming a citizen scientist
Citizen science initiatives help scientists document biodiversity and ecological relationships at a time when species are disappearing at an alarming rate. Since its inception in 2008, iNaturalist users have mapped when and where more than 250,000 species sightings have occurred. Such data, collected over years can help identify long term trends in biodiversity not always possible by traditional funding.
