  Recording observations in the field helps build our understanding of local biodiversity

We are also facing the global collapse of insect populations, with 40% of species declining and up to a third at risk. These species are essential pollinators and play a critical role in nutrient cycling and food chains across ecosystems. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of available data. There are only so many scientists collecting information on declining populations and biodiversity loss. Without sufficient evidence, it becomes increasingly difficult to support policies and actions aimed at slowing environmental decline.

  A closer look at woodland plants reveals the wildlife we might otherwise walk past.

Every wildlife observation can help build a bigger picture of biodiversity.

  Exploring the forest floor together brings citizen science to life through hands-on discovery.
