Implement strategies to enhance inclusivity in citizen science projects for urban and disadvantaged groups.
Recommendation
Citizen science projects, especially those supported by public funding, should implement strategies to enhance inclusivity, ensuring the involvement of people from urban and disadvantaged backgrounds. This broader participation not only facilitates the collection of data from areas such as urban environments but also allows more people to experience the mental health benefits associated with engaging with nature. (Paragraph 104) Pesticides and agri-environmental policies
