Interactive biodiversity challenge encouraging participants to record local species observations over a set period.

Reference

Inspired by citizen science biodiversity monitoring programmes and wildlife recording initiatives.

What?

Species-spotting challenge focused on recording birds, insects, plants or wildlife observations wherever people live and work.

How it runs

Participants use apps or shared forms to upload sightings, photos and locations, with results visualised through maps or summary graphics.

Planning & hosting

Provide a how-to guide, suggest a short list of easy-to-identify species, and visualise the collective results on a simple map or infographic after the challenge.

Outcome

Greater engagement with local biodiversity and collection of useful biodiversity observation data.
