To help us determine the health of an ecosystem, we can use BioBlitzes.
A BioBlitz is a participatory search for species within a limited area and a limited time frame that takes a snapshot of as many living things as possible.
People from all walks of life help out — expert and amateur naturalists, taxonomic scientists and the general public.
Through use of the iNaturalist Canada application, the species records are compiled into a single data set of the biodiversity in that location at that point in time, which is then available to researchers, scientists and policy-makers to help them make informed decisions about wildlife management.
