Dear All,
I am putting together a list of compelling research projects suitable for engaging citizen scientists from the comfort of their homes - think Zooniverse-type projects. The purpose of this list is to look at potential content for the digital content accompanying the Our Planet documentary series, so it is possible that if your idea is significantly compelling we may be able to provide some support to make it happen. If you would like your idea to remain secret, please feel free to email it to me directly at [email protected].
Thanks and best, Paul

Hi Paul,
I recommend you have a look at SciStarter and filter for online projects.
Also here in Australia we have:
DigiVol
Wildlife spotter
Galaxy Explorer
Weather detectives
Explore the sea floor
Trove
and others that are popping up all the time!

Hi Paul,
I would be interested to see how your project turned out if there is a link to it anywhere? Also, in case it's of interest, UNEP and TED Ed developed the Earth School initiative, and one of the 30 interactive quests focused on citizen science (#26)! The citizen science quest, which I led the development of, included projects that could be done from home by design, being developed in response to COVID. https://ed.ted.com/earth-school
