The Schoolyard Biodiversity Inventories Program is a collaboration between the University of Arizona’s Women in Science and Engineering Program, the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, the National Park Service, and schools throughout the Tucson Unified School District. This program aims to increase student knowledge and interest in issues of environmental science and biodiversity conservation, while fostering a sense of environmental responsibility among participants. iNaturalist allows students to upload photographs of living things to a global database where they are mapped and identified. In this way, participants in this program contribute to a global community of those committed to better understanding and fostering biodiversity.
