Discover and document biodiversity with iNaturalist! Celebrating Boston’s Biodiversity: Bioblitz Invitation Dear Boston Biodiversity Consortium Community, We’re excited to share an opportunity to connect with nature, contribute to science, and be part of a global movement for biodiversity! On Saturday, September 27, TEDxBoston and iNaturalist are teaming up with UMass Boston School for the Environment and other local organizations for a Bioblitz: a fun, hands-on event where people of all ages document as many species as they can on campus and along the waterfront. No experience necessary, just bring a phone with the free iNaturalist app and your curiosity! 🌱 Register here to join the Bioblitz (it’s free!): Eventbrite Registration 🌱 Join the Bioblitz project on iNaturalist: UMass Boston Bioblitz  Observations can help build knowledge for science and conservation. But the Bioblitz is just the beginning — we want to celebrate Boston’s biodiversity through the fall. After the event, we invite you to continue documenting nature in your neighborhoods and communities by joining the TEDxBoston 2025 Planet Action for Biodiversity Project on iNaturalist, which runs September 27 through the TEDxBoston Planet Action Summit, November 15-17. Together, we can create a record of the incredible species that we call our neighbors here in Boston. 🌱 Join the ongoing project here: TEDxBoston 2025 Planet Action for Biodiversity Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or brand new to observing wildlife, your participation helps scientists, educators, and conservationists better understand and protect the natural world. We hope you’ll be part of this exciting collaboration with TEDxBoston and iNaturalist!
