THE HOME RIVER BIOBLITZ
Become a bioblitz leader
Call for Bioblitz Leaders
Do you live near a river and are you curious to know what species live there? Or do you have the impression that many people are unaware of its wildlife? Invite a biodiversity expert (or be it yourself) and go explore your home river between the 24th and 26th of September. You can do this with your family members or invite a wider community, dependent on your local COVID-19 situation and on what suits you best!
The observations made in your area will be gathered alongside observations of all other Home River Bioblitz participants. Curious how that looks? Take a glimpse at last year’s results.
Registration
Getting excited? Registration will open in June. By filling in this short google form, we will send you an email to remind you!
Online Training Session
As a leader, we provide you with a Bioblitz training session, as well as the tools and guidance to create your own storymap from your event. More details will follow in June!
The following guidelines were created for the 2020 event and can give you some first ideas for your own COVID-19 aware Home River Bioblitz.
Using iNaturalist
This Bioblitz is all about collaborating with people that value rivers and their ecosystems, both close to you as well as globally. iNaturalist is the perfect partner to share your observations with a digital community. It is an online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about natural systems. It functions both as a crowdsourced species identification system and an organism occurrence recording tool. And the best thing of all, it is super easy to use, making the world of biology accessible to everyone.
