Gabby Salazar takes photographs of valuable species (物种) and teaches people about them. In this interview, she answers questions about her experience with citizen (市民) science.
What was your first citizen science project?
Gabby Salazar: It was over 10 years ago. One of my friends in Peru was very interested in birds. So we walked around with our cameras and notebooks for a day. We saw many different species, and we took photos of them. Later, we posted all our information on eBird.
What is eBird?
Gabby Salazar: It’s an Internet-based citizen science project at Cornell University in the United States. People around the world record information about birds they see. Today, eBird has over 590 million records of more than 10,000 different bird species. Scientists use the information to answer important questions. For example: Where do certain birds live? How many are there?
How can a person become a citizen scientist?
Gabby Salazar: It’s easy. First, find a project that you like online. One of my favorites is iNaturalist, which studies animals and plants. Then download (下载) the project’s app and use your phone to take pictures. When you’re done, send your photos to iNaturalist. It’s a great way to learn about your environment, and you also support scientists with their research.
If you can’t take photos, you can still do something for citizen science. For example, you can take part in a fun project called Wildwatch Kenya. Experts hide cameras in trees and other places. When an animal moves past, the camera takes a photo. Citizen scientists then review the photos online and tell the animals they see from others.
31.The purpose of the passage is to answer important questions about certain bird species.
32.Salazar first took part in the citizen science project through iNaturalist.
33.More than 590 million bird records have been uploaded to eBird.
