Citizen Science Salon is a partnership between Discover and SciStarter.Org.
For more than 50 years, Earth Day has been a chance to step back and look at the world around us — and then give back to our home planet. Volunteers around the world unite to take care of the Earth.
You can join them by participating in citizen science projects that study, explore and seek to understand our often fragile environment. We’ve gathered five of our favorite Earth-tastic projects for you below.
