Dear ECSA community,

We warmly invite you to take part in a survey exploring how citizen science contributes to biodiversity policy and decision-making.

This survey is part of the BioAgora project, a European initiative aimed at strengthening the interface between science, society, and policy in support of biodiversity. Your experience, insights, and challenges as citizen science practitioners, project managers, coordinators, and academics  are incredibly valuable—and this survey is a key building block in shaping the project's final outputs and recommendations.

By participating, you will  help ensure that the role of citizen science is clearly represented in the future Science Service for Biodiversity (SSBD).
