Welcome to the Citizen Science Show, a place to share stories of purpose about the natural world.
We explore the diverse activities of passionate people who record observations, gather empirical evidence and use technology to uncover scientific proof for positive social, cultural and political change.
We hope that these stories will inspire and encourage you to take action and become a Citizen Scientist.

Kelly Sheldrick has been working with communities across Perth to uncover the hidden world of the region’s tiny microbats—animals so small and quiet that most people never realise they are part of the local landscape.
Through her projects with the Conservation Council of Western Australia, volunteers use active acoustic detectors along transects in City of Wanneroo bushland, watching echolocation calls appear on screens while listening to slowed-down chirps.
This real-time sensory experience often transforms how participants think about bats, shifting them from distant concepts to lively nocturnal neighbours.
