Be a citizen scientist!

The 'Great Southern BioBlitz', or 'GSB' for short, is an international period of intense biological surveying in an attempt to record all the living species within several designated areas across the Southern Hemisphere in Spring.

The purpose of this event is to highlight both the immense biodiversity spread across the Southern Hemisphere in the flourishing springtime, as well as to engage the public in science and nature learning, using the citizen science platform iNaturalist.

By the end of November, the natural world is on full throttle. Flowers are blooming, insects are emerging, birds are singing, and reptiles are coming out of their winter hibernation. It makes sense for the Southern Hemisphere to observe life at this time of year!

The #GSB23 will be held incorporating different communities, areas and regions across the Southern Hemisphere.

This event, in Parks 3, 4 and 5 of your Adelaide Park Lands, is just one of many #GSB23 events in greater Adelaide and across the entire Southern Hemisphere over a four-day period
from the 24th until the 27th of November.
