Grant Activity:
1 Million Turtles - Conservation through community science and action
Purpose:
1MillionTurtles .com is a national citizen science project that will help identify what is happening to Australia's declining turtles. Australia faces catastrophic environmental change, including bushfires, droughts, and impacts of pest animals. The project will uniquely empower citizen scientists (CS) to protect their own native wildlife. The project will recruit CSs to the 1MillionTurtles.com program, which developed the TurtleSAT mobile phone app. TurtleSAT and workshops will be used to train CSs to scientifically collect critical wildlife data and protect turtles threatened by foxes and pigs. Outcomes include improved scientific literacy in Indigenous and regional communities and national assessments of the threats Australia's animals face.
