How to organise an efficient biobl itz event to map urban biodivers ity and activate local communities? - Biodivercity case study 2.

Bioblitz is a great tool using citizen science to activate and raise awareness of local communities along with biodiversity. According to National Geographic, it is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period, usually 24 hours. A bioblitz brings together volunteer scientists, as well as families, students, teachers, and other members of the community. While a scientific survey often focuses on unique or isolated areas, bioblitzes usually focus on urban green areas. Written by Ferenc Szigeti-Böröcz, lead expert in BiodiverCity project.
