A collaborative global community science campaign (aka a Bioblitz) that collects data on the world’s species in urban areas that takes place at the end of April every year. Hundreds of thousands of people take part in documenting the species that live in their local areas. Over the ten years of the challenge more than 364,000 people have collected almost 13 million observations for science. Last year together, we made observations of 1 out of 20 of all of the species known on earth. These data are used by scientists and land managers to better understand our world, and ultimately to help stop biodiversity loss through conservation actions.
