Developing a sense of appreciation and wonder for wildlife can also encourage more people to take positive action to protect and care for the environment. Discovering nature together builds curiosity, connection and care.
Intricate patterns reveal the remarkable wildlife waiting to be noticed, even close to home
Citizen Science Can Inspire Long-Term Environmental Action Citizen science is proving to be a powerful tool in the fight against biodiversity loss. Public participation can provide large volumes of valuable environmental data that scientists alone may not be able to collect. In a recent TED Talk, iNaturalist Executive Director Scott Loarie said, “Science isn’t just for scientists, everyone can participate” and “(Noticing nature) changes us, each observation is a personal act of curiosity, action and participation & changes our relationship with nature”. It all starts with noticing nature.
As Sir David Attenborough famously said,
“No one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced”.
Everyday wildlife offers an opportunity to observe, question and learn.
Protecting the natural world starts with noticing it.
Help protect nature through family citizen science.
