JAC BioBlitz 2025
A BioBlitz is an event where scientists, naturalists, and community members come together to identify and document as many species as possible in a specific area within a set period (usually 24 hours). The goal is to get a snapshot of biodiversity, raise awareness about local ecosystems, and contribute to conservation efforts. It’s like a nature scavenger hunt but for science!
What is it?
The objective is to connect with nature and others, while providing useful data for scientific biodiversity conservation purposes.
Just make as many iNaturalist observations as possible at JAC
