Taking part in a "citizen science" project can help you feel part of a kind group and do your bit to help protect the planet.
These are projects led by scientists and supported by the public, and can include anything from watching the stars to watching whales.
You don't need to be an expert to join in—anyone can be a citizen scientist. By counting, watching and listening, citizen scientists collect information that helps professional scientists and researchers understand the world better. This important information can also show communities, businesses and governments how they can do more to protect the planet.
A citizen scientist works as part of a team to solve problems and make new discoveries. This isn't just great for the planet—it's good for you too. Teamwork helps you learn new skills and feel connected with others. Research shows it also makes you feel happier and more confident. Taking action on a problem that's important to you means you're helping to find a solution—and you know you're not dealing with it alone.
It's easy to take part in a citizen science project—you can even do it from your window. The Big Garden Birdwatch in January means spending one hour counting the number of birds you see. Your results help scientists learn about bird species in the UK.
If you're interested in insects, ask an adult to help you use the "Seek by iNaturalist" app, which tells you the names of plants and insects and adds your findings to a worldwide survey. The Natural History Museum has lots of citizen science projects for newcomers, so ask an adult to help you look up its website.
