The most recent Melbourne BioBlitz took place over 24 hours on 4 and 5 March 2016. During the BioBlitz 744 members of the public joined 27 activities which included spotting birds at Royal Park, identifying insects at Westgate Park, and searching for plants in the Fitzroy Gardens. The City of Melbourne has analysed the data collected in past BioBlitzes and is now building a baseline dataset against which future changes in biodiversity can be measured and evaluated. bioblitz biodiversity citizen-science fauna flora species wildlife documentDigital JSON documentDigital JSON documentDigital CSV documentDigital GeoJSON documentDigital SHP
