More Than 800 Species and Counting at This Year’s BioBlitz
Some 150 scientists, 600 volunteers, and 2,000 students made their way to Saguaro National Park recently to identify and count all the organisms they could find, from the tiniest bugs in the soil to the towering cacti that give the park its name, for the 2011 BioBlitz. With support from Verizon Wireless, scientists, teachers, and students were able to upload pictures of park flora and fauna to National Geographic's Fieldscope database, where people from around the world can log in and see them. When the clock stopped at noon on October 22, more than 859 species had been identified in the 94,000-acre park outside Tucson, Arizona. (Photograph by Audrey Kanekoa-Madrid)
