Event ID: 38 Title: Citizen Science in Biosphere Reserves: Towards Open Science for conservation and ESD

The Citizen Science session will feature insights from experts and an interactive component in the form of a moderated World Café to share good practice and key lessons learned. The aim is to define next steps for setting up a community of practice dedicated to promoting and supporting citizen science across the global network of biosphere reserves.
