Abstract

A BioBlitz is an intensive citizen-science biodiversity survey. During a short period of time, experts and volunteers conduct an intensive survey to record all species living in a designated area. BioBlitzes have been conducted all around the world, and are now commonly used to engage citizen in biodiversity inventory, tracking rare and invasive species, and increase citizen awareness towards natural resources.
