About the Event
The 'Great Southern BioBlitz', or 'GSB' for short, is an international period of intense biological surveying in an attempt to record as many living species as possible within several designated areas (including north east Tasmania) across the Southern Hemisphere in Spring.
The purpose of this event is to highlight both the immense biodiversity spread across the Southern Hemisphere in the flourishing springtime, as well as to engage the public in science and nature learning using the global citizen science platform iNaturalist.
By the end of October, the natural world is on full throttle. Flowers are blooming, insects are emerging, Spotted tail quoll and Tassie Devils are emerging from their dens, birds are singing, and reptiles are coming out of their winter hibernation. It makes sense for the Southern Hemisphere to observe life at this time of year!
