for biodiversity science</strong>. It was developed by the Atlas of Living Australia in collaboration with many organisations to assist users in collecting field data for their own projects as well as to enable new biodiversity data to be easily copied into the ALA where it can be available for others to use in research, policy and management. This allows individual projects to collectively contribute to “big science”. </p> <p>BioCollect is designed for <strong>scientists,</strong> <strong>ecologists</strong>, <strong>citizen scientists</strong> and <strong>natural resource managers</strong> to collect and manage their biodiversity, ecological and natural resource management (NRM) data. It is hosted by the ALA and is <strong>free for public use</strong>.</p> <p>BioCollect provides form-based structured data collection for:</p> <b>1) Assessment and monitoring activities</b> such as: <ul> <li>ad-hoc surveys; and</li> <li>method-based systematic structured surveys</li> </ul> <b>2) Activity-based projects</b> such as: <ul> <li>revegetation;</li> <li>rehabilitation; or</li> <li>weed and pest management projects</li> </ul> <p>BioCollect also allows upload of unstructured data in the form of data files, grey literature, images, sound bytes, and video links. </p> <p class="has-text-align-center has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size" style="background-color:#c44d34;color:#ffffff"><strong>COLLECT </strong>your data – <strong>PROMOTE </strong>your project – <strong>COMMUNICATE </strong>with your participants – <strong>SHARE </strong>your data</p> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Start your own project:</strong></p> <div class="wp-block-columns has-3-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <a href="https://www.ala.org.au/biocollect-for-citizen-science/" title="BioCollect for citizen science" class="link-box"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.ala.org.au/app/uploads/2019/06/Cit-Sci-1920-x-1200_ParksVictoria_106523-56-640x480.jpg" alt="BioCollect for citizen science" /> <div class="overlay"> <h4 class="title" class="title" id="biocollect-for-citizen-science">BioCollect for citizen science <span class="arrow"><i class="far fa-long-arrow-right"></i></span></h4> </div> </a> <a href="https://www.ala.org.au/biocollect-for-organisations/" title="Organisations" class="link-box"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.ala.org.au/app/uploads/2019/07/IEK-Senior-Ranger-Banul-Munyarryun-1920-1200-640x480.jpg" alt="Organisations" /> <div class="overlay"> <h4 class="title" class="title" id="organisations">Organisations <span class="arrow"><i class="far fa-long-arrow-right"></i></span></h4> </div> </a> <p></p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <a href="https://www.ala.org.au/biocollect-for-ecosciences/" title="BioCollect for researchers, ecologists & industry" class="link-box"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.ala.org.au/app/uploads/2019/07/ecological-science-640x480.jpg" alt="BioCollect for researchers, ecologists & industry" /> <div class="overlay"> <h4 class="title" class="title" id="biocollect-for-researchers-ecologists-industry">BioCollect for researchers, ecologists & industry <span class="arrow"><i class="far fa-long-arrow-right"></i></span></h4> </div> </a> <a href="https://www.ala.org.au/biocollect-mobile-apps/" title="BioCollect mobile apps" class="link-box"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.ala.org.au/app/uploads/2019/07/The-tracks-app-640x480.jpg" alt="BioCollect mobile apps" /> <div class="overlay"> <h4 class="title" class="title" id="biocollect-mobile-apps">BioCollect mobile apps <span class="arrow"><i class="far fa-long-arrow-right"></i></span></h4> </div> </a> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <a href="https://www.ala.org.au/biocollect-for-natural-resource-management/" title="BioCollect for Natural Resource Managers" class="link-box"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.ala.org.au/app/uploads/2019/07/natural-resource-management-640x480.jpg" alt="BioCollect for Natural Resource Managers" /> <div class="overlay"> <h4 class="title" class="title" id="biocollect-for-natural-resource-managers">BioCollect for Natural Resource Managers <span class="arrow"><i class="far fa-long-arrow-right"></i></span></h4> </div> </a> <a href="https://www.ala.org.au/old-biocollect/biocollect-hubs/" title="BioCollect hubs" class="link-box"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.ala.org.au/app/uploads/2019/07/IEK_landscape.-640x480.jpg" alt="BioCollect hubs" /> <div class="overlay"> <h4 class="title" class="title" id="biocollect-hubs">BioCollect hubs <span class="arrow"><i class="far fa-long-arrow-right"></i></span></h4> </div> </a> </div> </div> <p class="has-large-font-size"> <strong>How can you use BioCollect? </strong></p> <p><strong>Community Groups & Individuals</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li> Set up a citizen science project for your community members and/or the general public to collect monitoring /assessment data.</li><li>Visit the ACSA Citizen Science Projects hub, find a project that interests you and help out by contributing data or doing some transcriptions – there are projects in your local area or all over the world.</li><li>Are you doing assessment or monitoring, but don’t plan on inviting the public to participate?
