Each year insect scientists like us field questions from the press and public about Christmas beetle populations: where have they gone?
Almost 4,000 Australian plant species have never been photographed in the field, particularly in remote corners of the country. Without a proper record, they could die out without us even knowing.
It’s important that citizen science projects engage volunteers from across society, including young people. A new Australian initiative is doing just that.
