Citizen science is rapidly becoming an invaluable tool in conservation. With technology providing new and interactive ways for anyone to contribute to conservation work from anywhere in the world, and on their own schedule, more conservationists than ever are turning to mobile apps and crowdsourced data analysis to speed up their projects and strengthen their data.
Similarly, more affordable and accessible tools like Audiomoth have opened the door for people to get involved in massive data collection efforts like the Silent Cities project, giving a glimpse into how our wider understanding of nature and conservation could be transformed as technology becomes increasingly user-friendly.
This group is your place for all things related to citizen science. Whether you're looking to get involved in a new conservation tech project, you're thinking of launching your own citizen science-powered project, you'd like to discuss capacity building and how citizen science can empower local communities, or you want to share a great resource or project you've found, this group will help you connect with others who are excited about making conservation tech accessible and effective!
To learn more about citizen science, check out this 2020 WILDLABS feature on Zooniverse projects.
