What is Citizen Science?

Much about the natural world remains a mystery to this day. Scientists have spent countless years and dollars to investigate the complicated relationships between the varied ecosystems and species which populate our planet. Still, there is much more to learn.

 

Citizen scientists partner with professionals in the scientific community to collect and analyze data, which is then aggregated for the benefit of greater understanding. Projects are available around the world, and prior experience is not necessary.

 

By harnessing the power of the average citizen, science can benefit from an increased workforce, skill set, and exponentially increased available hours to dedicate to its studies.

Take a look at a few examples of Citizen Science projects involving our featured Bioheroes.

By participating, you will benefit the animals in question, but also take a step towards a more sustainable and healthy future for our planet!
