I have heard of Project Noah but has never really gotten into in-depth about it till I was reading fellow course mate Vicky's blog, 'A young teacher's walk'. Vicky has written about it in a very interesting way that has prompted me to check out this website.
In her posting about Project Noah, Vicky has stated 'It is a tool to explore and document wildlife and a platform to harness the power of citizen scientists everywhere' about this website which after going into it, I found that it is a brilliant website for all ages!!. It is a really useful website for teachers especially to teach their students about wildlife species.
And as written by BBC's Ella Davies:
A smart way to save wildlife
And as quoted by BBC:
"A modern invention that may also hold the key to saving species in the future. Project Noah is a global study that encourages nature lovers to document the wildlife they encounter, using a purpose built phone app and web community. In addition to the virtual "collection" of species, Project Noah encourages citizen science by linking up with existing surveys including the International Spider Survey and the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network".
