Citizen science is rapidly becoming an invaluable tool in conservation. With technology providing new and interactive ways for anyone to contribute to conservation work from anywhere in the world, and on their own schedule, more conservationists than ever are turning to mobile apps and crowdsourced data analysis to speed up their projects and strengthen their data.
Similarly, more affordable and accessible tools like Audiomoth have opened the door for people to get involved in massive data collection efforts like the Silent Cities project, giving a glimpse into how our wider understanding of nature and conservation could be transformed as technology becomes increasingly user-friendly.
This group is your place for all things related to citizen science. Whether you're looking to get involved in a new conservation tech project, you're thinking of launching your own citizen science-powered project, you'd like to discuss capacity building and how citizen science can empower local communities, or you want to share a great resource or project you've found, this group will help you connect with others who are excited about making conservation tech accessible and effective!

That sounds like a really neat project! Do fish get re-caught often enough that individual ID is useful? Is sample bias (more data from popular spots) an issue? |

Hi Julien,
CEH is not a digital tech company, but we are running or collaborating on several national and international CitSci projects, including development of web and mobile apps, graphical design, data visualisations and other. Always looking for new opportunities.
Also, check out Natural Aptitude - a good tech company based in Bristol, UK, that we have worked with before.
Hope this helps,
Karolis

It might be worth getting in touch with the European Citizen Science Association as well. Some stakeholders whom are developers are already affiliated with ECSA as well.
