How to organise an efficient bioblitz event to map urban biodiversity and activate local communities? - Experiences of Siena (Italy) within and beyond the City Nature Challenge
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.
