Fwd: Citizen Science in ecology in India – an initial mapping and analysis : 2 posts by 1 author.
We are very happy to bring to your notice the final report of our recently completed project ‘Citizen Science in ecology in India’ that was carried out at the DST Centre for Policy Research at IIT Delhi.
A comprehensive, first of its kind, study of Citizen Science in Ecology initiatives in India, the report provides detailed information of 17 Citizen Science projects and offers insight and analysis that could be of use to policy makers, researchers, scientists, media persons and the citizen scientists themselves. The report has been uploaded to academia.edu and can be accessed from the following link: https://www.academia.edu/39816694/Citizen_Science_in_ecology_in_India_-_an_initial_mapping_and_analysis (For list of contents please see below) If you are unable to access it for any reason, pls do let us know and we’ll email you the pdf.
We look forward very much to your comments and reactions and also suggestions of how this work can be taken forward. — CITIZEN SCIENCE IN ECOLOGY IN INDIA – AN INITIAL MAPPING AND ANALYSIS LIST OF CONTENTS – Acknowledgements – Executive summary – Introduction ..
