EPISODE TWELVE: HOW CITIZEN SCIENCE APPS PROTECT PLANTS

Citizen science apps can be invaluable to researchers and give everyone a chance to document wildlife. However, they could also lead people with less-than-ideal intentions directly to rare plants.

Guests:

Dr. Connie Hausman, executive director of the Ohio Biological Survey

Adam Welz, a South African environmental journalist, photographer, and filmmaker

Ken-ichi Ueda, naturalist and co-founder and co-director of iNaturalist
