Other projects like AgeGuess [8] focus on the senior demographics and enable the elderly to upload photos of themselves so the public can guess different ages. Lists of citizen science projects may change. For example, the Old Weather project website indicates that as of January 10, 2015, 51% of the logs were completed. [9]
The term nature-based solutions was put forward by practitioners in the late 2000s. At that time it was used by international organisations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the World Bank in the context of finding new solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects by working with natural ecosystems rather than relying purely on engineering interventions.
Integrated farm management is the combination of natural and human capital to solve agricultural and environmental issues. Natural-based solutions include methods such as soil regeneration, nutrient cycling, allelopathy, and nitrogen fixation. [19] These solutions build resilience, contribute to biodiversity, and support ecosystem services. [21]
Various studies have been published that explore the ethics of citizen science, including issues such as intellectual property and project design.(e.g. [13] [12] [58] [59] [60]) The Citizen Science Association (CSA), based at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA), based in the Museum für Naturkunde ...
Evidence-based Conservation. This group, including experts from Conservation International, European Centre for Environment and Human Health, and the World Bank, has assessed the evidence base for how conservation benefits human well-being, for example health and education. The study was published in Nature. [12]
The project generated 1.6 million weather observations that will be used to improve climate modelling.

Research projects consist of seminar-style meetings that bring together people with diverse views and expertise to address issues that pose dilemmas and challenges to society. Recent projects produced reports that include Envisioning a More Just Genomics, which explores how individuals will benefit equitably from advances in human genomics, The ...
