Overall SDB Series Awards and Recognitions

As COVID-19 vaccinations begin their spread around the world, we look back upon all the highs and lows of the year 2020. Hopefully the Socially Distant Bioblitz Series was a source of community, enjoyment, and adventure that helped offset your pandemic-relates worries. We aimed high - 100,000 observations from 100 countries - and were proud of our accomplishments! Over the course of 10 events between 5 April and 18 October, we amassed 102,000 observations from 93 countries. Over 5,000 naturalists contributed to this global event by sharing observations or making identifications. We are pleased to recognize the following individuals for their outstanding participation in the Socially Distant Bioblitz Series. Click on the link to access your certificate:
