Geocaching Citizen scientists are individuals who volunteer their time, effort and resources to work with professional scientists, resource managers, environmental managers or alone on scientific research. These individuals may not necessarily have a formal science background, but receive training on the data collection methodology to help understand their role in the bigger picture of conservation. Citizen science provides an out of the ordinary conservation approach which combines people’s love for nature and shows them technical approaches scientists use to make decisions on how and what to protect.
