Endangered Species Questions
The role of citizen science in endangered species conservation is to engage and involve the general public in scientific research and data collection related to endangered species. Citizen scientists contribute by collecting data, monitoring populations, and reporting sightings or observations of endangered species. This involvement helps to increase the amount of data available for conservation efforts, enhances public awareness and understanding of endangered species, and promotes community participation in conservation initiatives. Citizen science also allows for the collaboration between scientists and the public, leading to more effective conservation strategies and actions.
