Get involved in citizen science
Collaborative endeavors between scientists and civil society stakeholders have developed significantly in recent years. This growth is driven by public interest in the scientific approach and culture, as well as by the need to find solutions to complex issues (economic, social, health, environmental, cultural, educational and ethical). Digital technology has helped foster the development of this type of collaboration, drawing on both artificial and collective intelligence.
Citizen science relies on cooperation and public participation to produce knowledge in a manner that approaches the scientific, ethical, legal and technology issues of research from a broader perspective.
Finding answers together has thus become the great collective intelligence challenge of the 21st century.

Better understand biodiversity in agricultural environments, how it evolves and its links
Develop tracking indicators to monitor biodiversity status in agricultural environments and raise awareness among agricultural professionals about practices to support biodiversity
The OAB offers agricultural professionals four standardized protocols they can use to observe wild fauna on their land. The collected data are analyzed at the MNHN.
