Building on the success of the previous five years, the National Biodiversity Network Trust (NBN Trust) is launching the 2020 NBN Awards for Wildlife Recording.
Developed in partnership with the National Forum for Biological Recording and the Biological Records Centre in 2015, these annual Awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions made by individuals and groups to wildlife recording – which is helping to improve our understanding of the natural world within the UK and enabling evidence-based environmental decision making.
These contributions can include anything from the number of records made by an individual or group, the number of records openly shared on the NBN Atlas or other systems, the number of participants at a BioBlitz and the quantity of data generated, plugging of gaps in knowledge in a specific area of the UK, technical innovation in recording wildlife or encouraging participation through the development of apps or games etc.
There are five categories of awards:
