Help the Nature Conservancy of Canada document local species of plants and animals
Over the August long weekend, the Nature Conservancy of Canada is encouraging people to get closer to nature and help document plant and animal species in their communities.
“From backyards to provincial and national parks, on lunch breaks or on vacation, participants can snap photos of the plants and animals they find around them. They then submit their observations to iNaturalist, a crowd-sourced community science species inventory app.” “Observations can help scientists take stock of local biodiversity, track rare species and fight invasive ones,” the Conservancy said. “Scientists want as much information as possible about the plants and animals across Canada, and people can help. NCC will compile all of the information that is gathered about species populations and locations during the BioBlitz.
