We are working together to grow and strengthen SciStarter Australia into the future, so if you have questions, don’t hesitate to send the team a message to receive support, provide feedback, or explore collaboration opportunities: scistarteraus@adelaide.edu.au.
The project finder that Atlas of Australia (ALA) and ACSA collaborated is part of BioCollect, which is continuing to provide citizen science project support for collecting biodiversity data. However, Biocollect will no longer function as ACSA’s catalogue of citizen science projects. Over the coming months, the ALA will be moving to consolidate projects and optimise the hub for the dynamic biodiversity data collection needs of citizen science. If you have any questions or concerns about the changes to the ALA’s citizen science hub, please contact the ALA team at support@ala.org.au. If you had a project on Biocollect project finder please copy it over to SciStarter Australia.
