2 weeks left in the challenge!

Make sure you're posting observations for a chance to get close with the Galapagos tortoises. It's also a great opportunity to go outside for a breath of fresh air :)

Shoutout to Emily for all the amazing observations! Over half of them have reached research-grade!!!
There are three weeks left in the project, so continue to go outside and make observations.

Have a great rest of the week,

Happy Monday everyone!

It's been over a week since the Akron Zoo BioBlitz started, but it seems that I am the only that has been uploading :(

I completely understand that everyone is very busy during these crazy times and it's difficult to leave your house, but you don't have to go to a fancy park to participate! There are plenty of cool plants and animals you can observe from your backyard as well :) So, go for a short walk in your neighborhood or step outside for some fresh air and upload observations for a chance to get close with the Galapagos tortoises. Remember - winners will be chosen based on the quality of the observation rather than quantity, so don't feel pressured to upload every single plant or animal you come across, just whatever you find interesting.

Have a great day!
Minseo Kim
