Adding another citizen science tool

Hello, Would it be possible to mention Natusfera as another citizen science tool in this page? https://www.gbif.org/citizen-science We have noticed that some tools are listed and we are working hard in the promotion of Natusfera (http://natusfera.gbif.es/) and its migration into GBIF network. Thank you.

Do you want to do the the honors?

To revise one of two ways—either with general content and fewer specifics, or with abundant detail, like links to SciStarter, ALA and other directories

I would favour keeping the top part purely generic and then have a list of links near the bottom, to avoid hierarchy of importance and 'picking winners'

Capturing notes on a related discussion about a guidance document for nodes on engaging citizen science

• High-level intro to citizen science data - could be handled through link to updated version of this page: https://www.gbif.org/citizen-science

• • Importance of contribution made from citizen scientists to GBIF.org
• • Range of ways in which citizens contribute
• • Key references

• How can nodes make a case to help to mobilize citizen science data from existing citizen science projects?

• • Assisting with licensing issues
• • Providing data publishing services through IPT and technical support
• • Assisting with reporting how mobilized datasets are being used - including tracking use in research literature

• Examples of node involvement in citizen science

• • BioBlitzes: either running them as an outreach activity, or mobilizing data from past events
• • Transcription of records - Node involvement in promoting these efforts, e.g. ALA, iDigBio
• • Promoting citizen involvement in recording observations through eBird and iNaturalist (local versions)
