The overall citizen science contributions to each SDG are summarized as pie charts. Black borders around indicators show the overlap between citizen science and EO, as identified by GEO (2017) Results• eBird collects 850 million observations in 10.8million locations worldwide• 15.1.2 Proportion of important sites for terrestrialand freshwater biodiversity that are covered byprotected areas, by ecosystem type;• 15.4.1 Coverage by protected areas of importantsites for mountain biodiversityLitter Intelligence Sustainable CoastlinesPicture Pile6.3.2 - Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality FreshWaterWatch has a global water quality database based on the contributions made by 8,000+ citizen scientists for more than 2,500 water bodies.
