Bioblitz was a citizen science project entailing an intensive biological survey to record as many living species as possible within a designated area over a specific period of time. The project aimed to attract people’s interest in nature and nature conservation issues on the one hand and to reveal the species diversity of the area to be protected on the other. During the activity, which took place on the Middle East Technical University (METU) campus, nature lovers took photos of plants, birds and butterfly species and shared these observations via iNaturalist, a global citizen science application. Experts supported the identification of species.
