Biodiversity Hotspots Questions
The role of citizen science in monitoring biodiversity hotspots is to engage and involve the general public in collecting data and observations related to the biodiversity within these areas. Citizen scientists can contribute by participating in various activities such as species identification, data collection, monitoring, and reporting. Their involvement helps to increase the amount of data available for analysis, enhances the understanding of biodiversity patterns and changes, and supports conservation efforts in these critical areas. Citizen science also promotes public awareness and education about the importance of biodiversity and encourages individuals to take an active role in its protection.
