Citizen scientists involved in the Turning Gardeners into Conservationists (TGIC) project have recently hit an exciting milestone, with 185 different wildlife species spotted by participating citizen scientists in their gardens over the past 12 months.
The project connects people with the biodiversity in their own gardens by training and supporting citizen scientists to identify and monitor wildlife, and take action to create a wildlife-friendly garden. To contribute to the global conversation on urban greening and biodiversity conservation, Dr Bronte Van Helden (UWA) and Dr Laura Skates (Perth NRM) have each recently shared the TGIC project with national and international audiences. Dr Skates highlighted training workshops, videos, and guides that the project team developed that are garnering international interest as examples of what tools and resources could assist similar projects across the globe.
