𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟳-𝟮𝟯, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, brings attention to the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Created by Pollinator.org, this worldwide celebration is also a call to action for more work toward saving bees, birds, butterflies, bats and beetles.

The 𝗶𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽 makes collecting photographs and biological information about living things easy and adds vital information about local species to the BioBlitz. The data collected through iNaturalist becomes part of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, an open-source database used by scientists and policy makers around the world. Anyone, regardless of age, skill or knowledge can participate in this community-wide event.
