Socially Distant Bioblitz Series's Boletim

15 de dezembro de 2020

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:

100,000 observations!

Not long after the Socially Distant Bioblitz Series began, we set a goal to reach 100,000 observations from 100 countries. Thanks to @alexis_orion we have just reached our first part of this goal! This Scarce Maple Pygmy from Berlin, Germany, found during the 10th SDB on 18 October, is our 100,000th observation. Congratulations, @alexis_orion !

New prizes, more events, and almost 100,000 observations worldwide

Hello, fellow Socially Distant Bioblitz-ers!

In half of the world, Socially Distant Bioblitz #9(!) has already began. To kick off this event, we have a few announcements to make about the SDB Series.

First, the SDB Team is now awarding digital certificates to the best photos and audio recordings submitted to each bioblitz! Check out our winners for multiple taxonomic categories from SDB #7 and SDB #8. Their observations are spectacular!

Second, in addition to our ninth event starting today or tomorrow (depending where you are in the world), we have added a 10th event, which will take place on 18 October. Will this be the bioblitz that puts us over the 100,000 goal for observations? Will we see participation from 75 countries by then? It is up to you!

That's all for now. Be well and stay safe!

The SDB Team (@slamonde , @gpasch , @magichin , @alexis_orion )

More Socially Distant Bioblitzes added!

Mark your calendars! Due to requests for more Socially Distant Bioblitz events, three more events have been added (every 3 weeks on Sunday) to the Socially Distant Bioblitz Series:

26 July 2020
16 August 2020
6 September 2020

While many countries are transitioning from quarantine to modified normalcy, others are still struggling with outbreaks of Covid-19. Regardless of your region’s social distancing policies (if any are in place), all are welcome to contribute observations to these projects. Click on the links above to join a project, and all your observations on the project day(s) will be automatically added.

Looking forward to exploring more of Earth’s biodiversity with you!
