正文(英文) | ![]() A Monarch (Danaus plexippus) that was added to the Bush Blitz. Image: Thomas Mesaglio (CC BY-NC). Biodiversity is the variety of life found on Earth, their communities and habitats. This includes plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. But scientists think we’ve only found and described about 30 per cent of Australia’s estimated 680,000 species! That’s where Bush Blitz comes in. It’s Australia’s largest species discovery program. It aims to build our knowledge of Australian biodiversity. Every year, Bush Blitz takes expert taxonomists on exotic expeditions to remote locations. All to find and describe more plant and animal species. But this year, Bush Blitz has organised an online journey. So that means you can join in and help the team from wherever you are! We can’t promise you’ll discover a new species. But we can guarantee you’ll discover some amazing species living in your very own backyard. And you’ll also connect with your inner naturalist as you learn to identify them. All while giving valuable data to the Atlas of Living Australia! ![]() You can search for species in your backyard and snap away. The Atlas of Living AustraliaHosted by us, the Atlas of Living Australia pulls together Australian biodiversity data from multiple sources. This makes identifying fauna and flora accessible and reusable. From museums and herbariums and the Bush Blitz, the data gathered gives a more detailed picture of Australia’s biodiversity. This lets scientists, policy-makers, environmental planners and industry see the ‘big picture’ of Australian biodiversity. And make important decisions about it. ![]() Uncover the amazing biodiversity that’s in your very own backyard!
