Description
CASABIO is a citizen science platform currently focused on African plants. A number of innovations have been pioneered by CASABIO and these are showcased in the presentation. Most importantly CASABIO is the only platform to create a workflow that allows one to efficiently go from field observation to label. In addition, there are a number of protective features aimed at protecting plants in the field from poaching. This is becoming increasingly critical with the poaching that is currently taking place in the arid regions of South Africa. CASABIO is also an organisation with a number of assets aimed at facilitating research. For the first time we will be publicly unveiling some of these assets.
