Understanding of subject matter PI CS The Wildlife Researchers project Knowledge Example 6: The Wildlife Researchersproject The Wildlife Researchers initiative is an urban wildlife ecology project on terrestrial mammals in Berlin (Germany). Participants engaged in an online platform to contribute to research and build a community of citizen scientists and researchers. Research on the outcomes of the project revealed that participants developed more positive attitudes towards science but that these were higher in participants with prior knowledge on the topic. Future research should thus consider this aspect when evaluating the impact of citizen science initiatives on attitudes towards science. See the full project
