Searching for Hong Kong’s Jellyfish
Jellyfish are a key species in marine ecosystems, although the extent of their occurrence and diversity is likely underestimated, particularly for biodiversity-rich locations such as Asia. The Hong Kong Jellyfish Project is a citizen science initiative seeking more information about jellyfish found in Hong Kong biodiverse and rich marine waters.

😱 Eek! Did you know that according to a study by the WorldBank, every single day, the Philippines discards over 3 MILLION DIAPERS?! This is just one of them! 🤯
🌏 In celebration of this year’s #EarthDay theme #PLANETvsPLASTICS, KOICAphilippines and PlanetCORA joined forces to …help clean the shores of Manila Bay, emphasizing the urgent need to #BeatPlasticPollution, one of the most pressing global environmental challenges of our time.
🤝 Led by Country Director Kim Eunsub of KOICAphilippines, Counsellor Kwon Soon Hyun of the Korean Embassy in the Philippines, Director Ryder Rodgers of USAID Philippines, the celebration brought together over 60 volunteers and partners from #KOICA, #USAID and #PhilKOFA.
‼️ NEWS FLASH: Coastal clean-ups do NOT solve the plastic pollution crisis, but they must be done because of all the litter harming wildlife, the environment and human health. More than clean-ups, there is an urgent need to REDUCE waste in the first place, BEFORE they reach our seas and landfills.
🇰🇷 The partnership between KOICA and CORA is made even more meaningful through programs that go beyond clean-ups, and that are designed to create lasting solutions to the plastic pollution crisis, including #CitizenScience initiatives and #CircularEconomy systems led by women, youth and local communities!

Science is a critical part of our work to defend native forests and Takayna — over the past six months, we have been making significant threatened species finds and engaging citizen scientists in the field.
In February, our recordings of Swift Parrots secured an injunction to temporarily… halt logging in one area of forest in Southern Lutruwita / Tasmania. 🦜 In the same month, we recorded Masked Owls breeding in forests being logged, and after alerting Forestry Tasmania, the logging machines left just days later.
Our team of scientists and dedicated volunteers are hard at work documenting protected species in at-risk areas 🔎 Here are some of the species they encountered over the recent warmer months.
Join us to protect native forests by pledging towards our urgent crowdfunder to end native forest logging. Pledge now at the 🔗 in our bio.

A kestrel project has been taking place in Vienna since 2010, which examines the adaptability of birds in large cities. The project thrives on reports from citizens. Anyone who has seen a kestrel and can clearly distinguish it from other birds is asked to report it. Two weeks ago I found his …breeding site 🥹 not far from me and reported it. Such citizen science projects are important and automatically connect us with nature and its living beings.
Do you have kestrels near you in #vienna or even a direct view of a nest? Then please report your sighting to turmfalkeninfo@gmx.at🦅

Did you know you're taking part in #CitizenScience every time you report a badger road traffic casualty to us?
When you report an incident on our website (link in bio 👆 ) you help us to track incident numbers to identify accident hotspots and save badgers.
We also share …data with RoadLab, a specialist project being run at the University of Cardiff, which quantifies and maps wildlife roadkill across the UK.
