Bioblitzes involve short periods of intense biological surveying, aiming to record as many species as possible in a specific area.
These initiatives serve as powerful tools for scientific discovery by providing researchers with an intensive snapshot of the species present in a given location. Additionally, bioblitzes engage the broader community in citizen science, fostering a sense of environmental stewardship and promoting a deeper understanding of local ecosystems.
Bioblitzes generate valuable information for conservation efforts and strengthen community connections with nature, ultimately enhancing awareness and appreciation for biodiversity.
We designed lesson plans to develop skills for species observation, identification and reporting. In this project, primary school students will actively collect data for local and global bioblitz initiatives, including ‘Australian Pollinator Count’, ‘Aussie Bird Count’, the ‘City Nature Challenge’, and the ‘Great Southern BioBlitz’.
