What is the City Nature Challenge? https://citynaturechallenge.org/

Invented by community science staff, at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) and the California Academy of Sciences (CAS), the City Nature Challenge is an international effort for people to find and document plants and wildlife in cities across the globe. It?s a bioblitz-style competition where cities are in a friendly contest with each other to see who can make the most observations of nature, who can find the most species, and who can engage the most people.
