The purpose of this event is to highlight both the immense biodiversity spread across the Southern  Hemisphere in the flourishing springtime, as well as to engage the public in science and nature learning. As we are international, in  Spanish we are known as 'Gran Biobúsqueda del Sur', while in Portuguese  we are known as 'Grande BioBlitz do Hemisfério Sul'.

By the end of October, the natural world is on full throttle. Flowers are blooming, insects are emerging, birds are singing, and reptiles are coming out of their winter hibernation. It makes sense for the Southern Hemisphere to observe life at this time of year!

The #GSB21 will be held from  Friday the 22nd of October until the end of Monday on the 25th of  October, incorporating different communities, areas and regions across  the Southern Hemisphere
