Amanda and co-authors published a recent paper in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment on the role of citizen science and reversing the extinction of experience phenomena. In this work, we propose that citizen science as a means to reconnecting people with nature. This work was a collaboration from researchers around the world from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, North Carolina State University, Rutgers University, and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
