ScientistscountsGree

ScientistscountsGree is a citizen science initiative focused on the collection of data related to green spaces and their accessibility. The project aims to engage the public in observing and documenting the presence, size, and usability of parks, gardens, and other vegetated areas within urban and suburban environments. Participants use a dedicated online platform or mobile application to log their observations, often including photographs and GPS coordinates.

The data gathered by ScientistscountsGree contributes to a broader understanding of urban ecology, public health, and environmental justice. By mapping green spaces, researchers can analyze patterns of distribution and identify areas that may be underserved. This information can then inform urban planning decisions, conservation efforts, and public health interventions. The project emphasizes the role of everyday individuals in contributing to scientific research, fostering a sense of community involvement and environmental awareness. The collected data is typically made publicly available, allowing for further analysis by researchers and policymakers worldwide.
