Citizen science is a collaborative research process in which citizens or amateur scientists collaborate with scientists who conduct research professionally. Citizen science also plays a growing role in the protection of nature, because the data necessary for nature research can be obtained in large quantities only with the involvement of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Society can participate in the process of natural scientific research in various ways, mainly – observing phenomena and collecting data. The possibilities provided by modern information and communication technologies make this process simpler and accessible to a wide range of people. Observing nature is also a passion for many, and citizen science initiatives allow you to combine personal interests and contribute to research – observe and list birds, identify plants, make species inventories or phenological observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
