Linkedin mainly. 

iNaturalist and eBird ofc but these are more communities than real social networks. 

But, and this is a real advice, a good RSS feed reader with all your trusted sources and then you don't need any other social network.

Hi Norah! 
This is a great concern! Kudos! 
Climate change data especially for such a long time can help us answer a lot of questions including the few listed below:

  1. How has the climate variability affected the trend of species in the ecosystem? (You can choose to study a specific specie of animal or plant) and respond on their increase and (or) extinction.
  2. How has climate variability affected or supported the survival rate of introduced species?
  3. Climate variability is one among many factors of invasion, how is the invasion rate in your ecosystem?
  4. You can also answer on the general topic of your ecosystem’s health with the data! 

    I would love to read a paper from the data you have! Very resourceful! 
    Break the leg! 
Tatenda Hanyani

11 February 2025 5:17pm

I agree Adventina. I am also interested in "How has the climate variability affected the trend of BAT species in the ecosystem? and respond on their increase and (or) extinction.

 

@Norah, I am also interested in the findings regardless of the species you pick. In 2022 - 2023 we created a climate database for an NGO project in Amhara, Ethiopia. It would be cool to come up with a climate variability databasa for the park.

Hi Colleen,

Thank you for sharing this exciting opportunity. I am Lucie, International Development Manager of Natural Solutions. We are a company at the intersection of biodiversity and tech for over 15 years. We specialize in developing digital tools for conservation organizations, researchers, and policymakers, helping them collect, analyze, and visualize biodiversity data. More recently, we’ve been exploring new possibilities and began to analyze what we could propose to businesses to support them in understanding their dependencies and impacts on nature (impact assessment platforms that help companies quantify their environmental footprint, define relevant indicators, and develop actionable biodiversity strategies etc)

We would be interested in exploring whether this topic could be relevant for your students.

Would this align with your students' interests and skill sets? Additionally, could you share more details on the timeline and any constraints—when would the project start, and what are the expected deliverables?

Looking forward to discussing this further! My email is lucie_gallegos@natural-solutions.eu 
Don't hesitate to reach out!

Best, 

Lucie
