Documentation du système de sciences citoyennes de Biolovision

The mobile application Naturalist and their web-based counterparts are digital tools that enable amateur naturalists and professionals alike to record and share in real time biodiversity data for large-scale studies on nature conservation and biodiversity monitoring. As in any other project based in citizen science, the free and voluntary participation of naturalists, as well as sharing the data collected, allows to build huge data bases in record times enabling scientists to act promptly against biodiversity loss. Besides, huge data bases allow more options and flexibility in the data collection process, which complement the scientific way of collecting data.

The tools can be used very simply by regular registered users for recording occasionaly or by lists data in the field, sharing it with other users, or do it afterwards at home.

More specific and professional tools are also available, under some condition (like having a local portal and having local administrators), with a lot of specialized function like special tools for protocols, specific statistics, news and so on.

Majoritiy of data and map restitutions are "live" ones, allways renewed with the new data entered.

All products are developed by Biolovision Sàrl, based in Ardon, Switzerland.
