BioBlitz 2016

Melbourne BioBlitz is one of the City of Melbourne’s major citizen science programs, where experts and members of the community work together to discover, document, and learn about the species that call our city home. \r\n\r\nThe most recent Melbourne BioBlitz took place over 24 hours on 4 and 5 March 2016. During the BioBlitz 744 members of the public joined 27 activities which included spotting birds at Royal Park, identifying insects at Westgate Park, and searching for plants in the Fitzroy Gardens.\r\n\r\nThe City of Melbourne has analysed the data collected in past BioBlitzes and is now building a baseline dataset against which future changes in biodiversity can be measured and evaluated.

墨尔本生物普查（Melbourne BioBlitz）是墨尔本市（City of Melbourne）的核心公民科学项目之一，由专家与社区民众携手合作，共同发现、记录并了解以城市为家园的各类物种。

最近一届墨尔本生物普查于2016年3月4日至5日开展，为期24小时。活动期间，共有744名公众参与了27项活动，其中包括在皇家公园观测鸟类、在西门公园辨识昆虫，以及在菲茨罗伊花园搜寻植物。

墨尔本市已对过往各届生物普查活动收集的数据进行分析，目前正构建一套基准数据集，用于衡量并评估未来生物多样性的变化情况。
