The need for new data, power in utilizing citizen science projects, and interest in connecting citizens to the wildlife in their region, has motivated the development of many effective citizen science projects. CNHP\u2019s zoologist, Rob Schorr, was able to attend the workshop and present the development and management of the citizen project called <strong>Climbers for Bat Conservation<\/strong>.
