The Guardian Australia are currently running a campaign called Our wide brown land focussing on Australia’s environmental challenges. To encourage readers to take an active part in addressing these challenges, they have teamed up with the ALA and the Australian Citizen Science Association to develop a new citizen science project discovery tool for their readers. This is linked with the Australian Citizen Science Project Finder and provides another way for people to find and connect with a citizen science project which interests them. There are many projects to choose from, for all ages, so check it out and get involved.
