What does citizen science look like when it moves beyond data collection and becomes part of how conservation is practised?
Join us for “Citizen Science in Practice”, a webinar exploring the relevance of citizen-science approaches for species and landscape conservation across different geographies and institutional settings.
The session will bring together practitioners working across conservation, biodiversity and youth engagement to share grounded experiences, lessons and perspectives on:
- Designing and implementing citizen-science initiatives in different contexts
- The role of communities and volunteers in generating conservation knowledge
- Data quality, participation and community incentives
- Connecting citizen-generated data with formal conservation practice and decision-making
- What works, what does not, and the conditions that enable citizen science to contribute to conservation outcomes

The online session is convened by Terra-NatureWild Conservation, in collaboration with the IUCN Citizen Science Task Force.
The conversation builds on the direction set by Resolution 125, “Citizen Science to Support and Democratize Conservation” (World Conservation Congress 2025), and asks what it takes to translate this recognition of citizen science into practical approaches for conservation.
