In this article the author is talking about the importance of being goal orients in citizen science projects. One example the author gives is about the N.C. Bird Atlas which wants to log all of the bird species in North Carolina over the next five years. Previously stated would be the long term goal and the short term goal would be to have volunteers in the community to observe birds during the winter to log their migration patterns. Another long term goal would be to correlate changes in bird migration patterns to climate change. Another example given by the author was the N.C. Alligators iNaturalist project. This program asks that volunteer community members to take picture of alligators and to upload them into the iNaturalist mobile app. The long term goal of this project is to learn about the natural distribution of alligators in North Carolina.
