Isn't it exciting to discover and record the first species found in Conservation Area and upload the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) so that every teenager can contribute to global biodiversity conservation through his eye of biodiversity discovery?

Recently, after China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation(CBCGDF) built species discovery "Little guard" (N series activities), many biologists left messages to consult, how can they join this activity? To be easy to understand, the writer has sketched a map of the activities of discovering N series of species. Let's take a walk and have a try.

Step 1: Boarding the CCAfa Tour

Because the QR codes for each organizational activity registration are not different, the QR codes in the above list are only for reference! Since this summer, the "CCAfa Tour" jointly carried out by CBCGDF and China Travel Service Head Office (Beijing) Co., Ltd. has been held six times in Baiyangdian, Hebei Province, and is expected to be more than 120 CCAfas in the future.

Step 2: Discover and record species

Step 3: Ask experts to identify species and upload GBIF

Step 4: Certificate the “little guardian” (N series) for species discovery and show it on the official website.

For the new species (N series) which have been confirmed by experts in the related research field, the CBCGDF will award honorary certificates according to the different levels of N1 to N4 species, to encourage young discoverers to contribute to global biodiversity conservation.

Could species not be recorded and uploaded to the GBIF if they were not found in CCAfa sites? The answer is yes! But this part of the data will be uploaded in batches by the CBCGDF after confirmation by experts in related fields, but there is no N series honorary award for adults yet.
