Landcare Week

Landcarers across NSW will be encouraged to become "citizen scientists" with ClimateWatch.

Despite the existence of many volunteer organisations in Australia that collect relevant data, combined with the high threat level and globally significant biodiversity values, no network or integrated data set to support climate change research exists. To address this, ClimateWatch has been developed by Earthwatch Australia, in partnership with the Bureau of Meteorology and the University of Melbourne, with seed funding from the Australian Government and corporate sponsors. ClimateWatch inspires the Australian community to become citizen scientist “ClimateWatchers” and assist scientists in gathering the vast amount of data required to address the impacts of climate change on Australian biodiversity.
