“…We decided to combine our efforts to produce a global event with a big outreach push in the biocollections and citizen-science communities as a crucial step for the community, leading toward greater efficiencies and effectiveness. Biodiversity citizen-science projects with somewhat similar goals, such as National Geographic's Great Nature Project, the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count (Dunn et al 2005 ), BioBlitzes (Lundmark 2003 ) and Personal BioBlitzes (Pollock et al 2015 ), and eBird's Global Big Day ( www.ebird.org/globalbigday ), had already demonstrated past success with comparable models that integrate on-site (e.g., in the field) and online (e.g., at a computer or with a mobile app) activities (table 1 ). However, ours is the first project of global scale to create data about historically collected biodiversity specimens rather than create observations.…”

“…Visto que é elevado o número de pesquisas que apontam para a defasagem do processo de ensino e aprendizagem de botânica na educação básica, diversas iniciativas vêm sendo realizadas no intuito de inovar as práticas de ensino revelando a natureza circundante aos estudantes e, com isso, diminuindo a cegueira botânica instituída (MARTÍNEZ RETAMERO, 2016;NASCIMENTO et al, 2017;PéREZ et al, 2014).…”

“…As alternativas desenvolvidas para melhoria do ensino vão desde a proposição de diferentes estratégias e abordagens até a escolha de conteúdos que possam ser mais agradáveis e contextualizados, tais como plantas utilizadas no cotidiano, plantas nativas e invasoras, formas de defesa das plantas, identificação da biodiversidade, entre outros. O interesse pela natureza e as experiências de contato e observação de espécies cotidianas comuns são fatores que podem promover o interesse pelo estudo das plantas, por questões ambientais relacionadas à biodiversidade e ao desenvolvimento sustentável (PALMBERG et al, 2015;POLLOCK, et al, 2015). A necessidade de um currículo contextualizado e conectado às diferentes realidades e de uma abordagem interdisciplinar são alguns dos exemplos citados por Nascimento et al (2017).…”

“…In Scotland, the East Dunbartonshire Council defines standards for the quantity, quality and accessibility of parks, gardens, play areas and nature reserves for its population (East Dunbartonshire Council, 2015), while Singapore aims to provide 0.75 ha of park space per 1,000 residents (Tan, Wang, & Sia, 2013). The provision of greenspaces has been complemented by the development of local and global programs to engage people from all walks of life with nature such as Australia's ClimateWatch national citizen science programme (Parks Victoria, 2013) and global Bioblitz projects that challenge people to notice and learn about the common, often urban, species around them (Pollock et al., 2015).…”
