The Big River Watch
United KingdomDe 06 Set até 12 Set, 2024
Survey your local river between 6th-12th of September and be part of our UK and Ireland-wide survey of river health. Twice a year we run Big River Watch weeks. where we invite you to take part in a simple citizen science activity that helps build a picture of river health across the UK and Ireland. Download the Big River Watch app
You'll need the free app to take part! Download it before you set off to complete your survey. Whether you’re a swimmer or a paddler, an angler or a rambler, a wildlife spotter or a sit-and-watch-er, download the app and complete the quick survey today! However you love your river, Big River Watch is a chance to be part of the movement improving our freshwater spaces. With our app, you can contribute to a national data set that will help us build a picture of river health.
Citizen Science as a Path for Sustaining Healthy Waterbodies
Foz do Iguaçu (PR)De 05 Mai até 09 Mai, 2024
O prazo para submissão de resumos é 22 de dezembro de 2023. É com grande satisfação que convidamos a todos e todas a participarem do 37º Congresso da Sociedade Internacional de Limnologia (SIL), que ocorrerá em Foz do Iguaçu, entre os dias 5 e 9 de maio de 2024.
Neste Congresso haverá uma sessão temática “Citizen Science as a Path for Sustaining Healthy Waterbodies” que pode ser um ótimo momento de discussão
sobre as ações de ciência cidadã em nossos ecossistemas aquáticos continentais.
Traga sua pesquisa para as discussões desta sessão, submetendo seu trabalho à SIL. Abstract: Lakes, streams & wetlands are widely ignored by scientists, the public, and decision-makers. Yet, like the smallest blood vessels of an organism’s body, these headwaters are critically important for the healthy functioning and structuring of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Climate change, land use intensification, and water withdrawals create a perfect storm for fragmenting and degrading those small waters—despite their importance to unique, endemic biota and for providing ecosystem services to humans (e.g., flood, drought, & disease mitigation, fisheries, wildlife viewing). It is critically important for scientists to engage not only other scientists—but the public as well. We must assist public school students and teachers in monitoring and assessing water quality and biota, including discussing the results with local decision-makers (private companies and local governments). Engaging school youths is a seed for citizen-science growth and effectiveness. Simplified quantitative field protocols and GoPro filming of reference & impaired streams provide pertinent and appropriate information for communicating with decision-makers. Engaging citizen groups regarding the human health and economic benefits of stream rehabilitation provides information on the ecosystem services offered by healthy streams and riparian communities. With the assistance of our coauthors, we will present global research examples of the values and threats to those aquatic ecosystems together with alternatives for communicating that information to the public and decision-makers.
The Great Garden Birdwatch
Jersey (UK)De 03 Fev até 04 Fev, 2024
Action for Wildlife Jersey is inviting the community to partake in the 23rd annual Great Garden Birdwatch.
This cherished event, taking place on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th February, serves not only as an engaging activity for nature enthusiasts but also plays an important role in monitoring the health of our local bird populations.
The Great Garden Birdwatch has become a staple in Jersey’s environmental calendar over the past two decades, offering residents a unique opportunity to connect with nature while contributing to vital citizen science.
Those wishing to take part can use the Jersey Great Garden BirdWatch Survey Form 2024, available online or as a hard copy, to record their sightings. Results can be submitted via email to through Action for Wildlife Jersey’s Facebook page.
EuroBioBlitz 2023
Europe05:00
De 29 Set até 30 Set, 2023
A huge wildlife recording event is taking place across the whole of Europe on the 29th and 30th September 2023 – get involved! It’s a chance for anyone and everyone to contribute to the study of Europe’s wildlife, helping to shape conservation efforts and support scientific research. ‘Bio’ means ‘life’ and ‘Blitz’ means ‘to do something quickly and intensively’. Together they make ‘BioBlitz’, a collaborative race against the clock to discover as many species of plants, animals and fungi as possible, within a set location, over a defined time period. We can all help with nature’s recovery by helping fill in the gaps in what we know about the species on our doorstep. By recording nature nearby, everyone can support vital conservation research whilst connecting with nature and enjoying the outdoors.
