Graphical Abstract
Abstract
Participation in a bioblitz is a great way to introduce citizen science and get your community outside learning about local habitats. A bioblitz is a biological survey that brings together students, teachers, parents, and scientists to observe and record as many living things as possible over a set period of time and in a set area. Biological surveys are tools that help biologists understand the health of an area, identify population trends, and quantify the abundance of organisms (CitationLEARNZ 2021). With this baseline understanding, researchers can compare historical knowledge to current biological trends. With the help of web-based citizen science projects like bioblitzes, scientists and the global public can have access to vast catalogues of useful data about the natural world.
