 us on August 13th for a discussion and Q&A on how, using the Earth 
 Challenge app, citizen scientists can help monitor and conserve bee 
 populations around the world.\n\nBee populations around the world are 
 declining, with many species of bees becoming endangered at rates higher 
 than ever before. Human and bee survival is intertwined — \nwithout bees, 
 we risk doing significant damage to ourselves and our world's 
 ecosystems.\n\nThe webinar will be 60 minutes and hosted over Zoom. By 
 registering and joining the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions 
 during the Q&A. If you can’t connect over Zoom, we’ll also be streaming 
 the event over Facebook.\n\nWhat is citizen science?\n\nCitizen science is 
 the practice of public participation and collaboration in scientific 
 research to increase scientific knowledge. Through citizen science, people 
 share and contribute to data monitoring and collection programs.\n\nThe 
 Earth Challenge 2020 app empowers people around the world to monitor and 
 help mitigate threats to environmental and human health in their 
 communities.\n\nOur panelists include:\n\n--Kathleen Rogers, Earth Day 
 Network\n--Anne Bowser, Wilson Center\n--Landon Van Dyke, Department of 
 State\n--Sam Droege, U.S. Geological Survey\n--Moderator: J. Marcelle 
 Lashley-Kaborè, Girls with Knowledge, Inc.\n\nABOUT: Earth Day 
 Network\n\nEveryone has a place in the environmental movement. We work with 
 educators, faith leaders, activists, organization, and political powers to 
 create positive changes.\n\nGrowing out of the first Earth Day on April 22, 
 1970, Earth Day Network is the world’s largest recruiter to the 
 environmental movement, working with more than 50,000 partners in 196 
 countries to build environmental democracy.\n\nWe work through a 
 combination of education, public policy, and consumer campaigns. More than 
 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making 
 it the largest civic observance in the world.\n
