LAUNCHING CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECTS IN KOREA: FEEDBACKS, RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES

• Why Citizen sciences in Korea? • Feedbacks about the pollinators and the cicadas programs

• Challenges for the futur

Citizen science The involvement of the general public into scientific research

Why do scientists need the general public?

Collection at a large scale

Data Ordering Exploration Analysis

Why Citizen science in Ecology? Biodersity erosion is a moral issue and a threat for humans well-being

A POLITICAL STAKE « Raising people awareness and participation » Priority 1. Mainstreaming Biodiversity – Action 2

K-GBIF DATA FOR 2016 AND 2017

Korea needs citizen science data!!! No data

C.atrata

8 observations (54 times less)

H. fuscata 5 observations (83 times less)

M. Opalifera and mongolica

RECREATE LINKS BETWEEN HUMAN AN NATURE Since 2007, the city dwellers are more numerous than people living in urban areas We are more and more disconnected with Nature… .. and suffering from an « extinction of experience » (Miller 2005)

RECONNECTION, A STEP TOWARDS CONSERVATION “To the degree that we come to understand other organisms, we will place a greater value of them and on ourselves” (E.O. Wilson, Biophilia)

Citizen sciences and biodiversity Involving

Understanding Populations composition, dynamics, habitats preferences

Involving the general public while raising their awareness about biodiversity issues

Managing Creation of monitoring index, landscape planning, change of practices

• Why Citizen sciences in Korea? • Feedbacks about the pollinators and the cicadas programs

• Challenges for the futur

Examples of citizen science programs in South Korea

In partnership with

2 PROGRAMS RUNNING FOR 2 YEARS

Around 10 000 pictures sent by 132 observers

3 600 observations (pictures, audio recordings, videos) by 195 observers

EDUCATION ANIMATIONS

DATA COLLECTED IN 2016 AND 2017 Pollinators

• 3215 localised pictures identified • 278 species from 190 genus

Cicadas

• 1495 audio or video recordings • The 8 main species in Korea

RESEARCH QUESTIONS • Composition of the communities

• Distributions • Phenology • Habitats affinity, speciality index, sensitivity to urbanization • Dynamics of populations

AFFINITY OF POLLINATORS FAMILIES WITH URBAN FEATURES • Distribution based on Maximum of Entropy (software Maxent) • Biotope, impermeability, land use, green cover, distance to water Syrphidae Family

Apidae Family

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Forest Industry Green spaces Wetlands and water Agriculture Residential areas Commercial areas Transportation Wastelands

INFLUENCE OF URBAN AREAS PROPORTIONS ON CICADAS PHENOLOGY

Urban > 70 % of urban areas

Moderate to Low Urban < 70 % of urban areas

MORE URBAN, EARLIER H. fuscata

1st recording of the year

In dense urban areas, the 1st records is 20 days earlier for H. fuscata, 4 days earlier for C. atrata The maximum peaks are significantly earlier (Wilcoxon test) in urban areas for C. atrata value= 0,035) and H. fuscata (p-value= 0,005)

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF INVOLVEMENT, UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMATIC AND DATA QUALITY Observer’s attitude

• •





Provide ressources (computers power) Data collection



Data collection with a protocol

Identification of pictures, interpretation of the data

Contribution to scientific questions, total comprehension of the scientific issues

Structured data

Quantitative analyses, comparision between communities composition, dynamics trends, etc. Level 2: Contribution to the interpretation of the data

Level 3 : Contribution to research questions and data collection •

Opportunistic data

General, descriptive analysis

Level of participation



Researcher’s point of view

Level 1: Data collection



Data almost ready to analyze!



Co-construction of scientific knowledge



Study of problematics linked to citizen intrerests

IDENTIFICATION KEYS, GUIDES, GAMES

Which species is it?

H. fuscata

C. atrata

And to the observers…

고맙습니다!!
