📊 The EwA reports are a testimony of a journey documenting the natural history of urban biodiversity and phenology while advancing the global data and open science practices. As our community of citizen scientists and expert collaborators grows, we become stronger and ever more committed to building upon our accomplishments.

In a recent review of hundreds of studies covering many species, we found that the presence of humans can alter wild animal and bird behavior patterns at much greater distances than most people may think.
Ideal internship for undergraduates and graduate students preferably studying environmental sciences, ecology, and/or conservation biology…
