<p>One challenge in collaborating with citizen scientists is to keep them motivated to continuously collect data in the long-term. The Home River Bioblitz event overcomes this roadblock by engaging hundreds of citizens around the world in one single day. In general, a bioblitz is a communal citizen-science effort to record a wide variety of species at a specific location within a certain timeframe. This single-day commitment enables large-spatial resolution data to be collected. The Home River Bioblitz was created by the River Collective, National Geographic, Bestias del sur Salvaje, and iNaturalist as part of the citizen science program supported by the National Geographic Society. The first event took place on September 20<sup>th</sup>, 2020 on 43 rivers located in 24 countries around the world. Over 500 participants from five continents used the iNaturalist app to log 5245 observations and 1772 species of flora and fauna, with at least 14 species under IUCN status, contributing to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility repository.<strong> </strong>This method of low-temporal and high-spatial data collection is used to identify new species, IUCN red list species, local endemic species, and invasive species. Not only does this event engage citizen-scientists to contribute to biodiversity findings, but it also connects people to their local environments by having them zoom into details they normally pass by. By celebrating the diversity of rivers and meeting the people around them, we were able to bring communities closer to knowing the species of their local rivers and raise awareness about the importance of free-flowing and healthy rivers around the world. An online post-event was dedicated to sharing these local river species and the scientific impact of certain observations with the participants. This event also opens up the possibility to collect other types of short term, large-spatial data around river ecosystems. In the next edition of the Home River Bioblitz, we would like to encourage the participants to collect hydro-morphological and water quality data by using open-access and low-cost citizen science tools, such as the Discharge app and the Waterrangers kit. The Home River Bioblitz event will not only be used to engage and educate participants on their local rivers, but the biodiversity and potentially chemico-physical and hydro-morphological data that will be collected could serve to develop time-series to help assess temporal variations and stressors.</p>

Finton, Nancy. Ecosystems. Washington, D.C: National Geographic, 2004. Print.Life science Eco-system by Nancy Finton and published by the National Geographic Society. The book is about the ecosystem and some interesting facts about animals and the North American landscape and ecosystem. This book also tells facts and the near extinction of the black footed ferret one of the rarest creatures in North America. This book is also about how the ecosystem and the food web works and these fun facts are awesome and I like science.I love the facts and pictures in this book because they are scientifically factual. I also love the meaning and facts of this book and it’s about the ecosystem and food web also animals that live in the great prairies of North America like the Pronghorn antelope which eats sage and the nearly extinct black footed ferret which feeds on prairie dogs. About 271 black footed ferrets have been raised since 1987 to 2001 and 202 black footed ferrets have been released since 1987 to 2001 what a beautiful job people did.I have no complaints about this book except there is little information about the ecosystem and I hope the author Nancy Finton adds more information and detail to this book. Not a lot of information about the different ecosystems and habitats from different countries around the world and there is way too much about prairie dogs like really I want to know lots but too much information about prairie dogs![Highly Recommended: 4 out of 5 stars]Reviewer: JacksonHello my name is Jackson and I like books about science and Nuclear physics and I think reading is important because we and our children will need knowledge and know everything we need to know so our lives can be easier in the future.

"In 1900, Alexander Graham Bell, the second president of the National Geographic Society, invited prominent editors and publishers to Washington to seek their advice about the society's magazine. They gave him these suggestions: 1. Move to New York, because it is impossible to establish a popular magazine in Washington. 2. Change the name National Geographic to something simpler. 3. Forget about building circulation through membership in a geographic society; sell the magazine on newsstands instead. 4. Never mention the name National Geographic Society in the magazine because people abhor geography." "... Bell cheerfully ignored all the suggestions,... and set the magazine on its way to becoming the largest popular journal of geography in the world. 9.2 million circulation."
