Habitat information is important for conservation, and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) would like to explore the feasibility of increasing the amount of it collected by you, as volunteer citizen scientists.
They would very much appreciate if you are happy to contribute your thoughts on habitat recording through these two surveys to help JNCC to design interesting and useful solutions for recording habitat. Please note that the surveys will close to new responses on 31 July 2023.
- The first survey will help JNCC to understand perceptions about recording habitat information. It should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. You must be aged 18 or over and based in the UK.
- The second survey aims to understand the user-friendliness of a new app for recording habitat data – EarthTrack – which is one of several options being explored to help volunteers collect habitat data in the UK. You will need to download and test the app before you can fill in the survey (see instructions at the start of the survey itself). Testing the EarthTrack app should take no longer than 5 minutes once you are in your chosen location with the app downloaded, and have GPS signal. Filling in the survey should take no longer than 5 minutes. You must be aged 18 or over, but can be based anywhere in the world.
