I think that's one of the excellent things about citizen science, and there's a continuum of types of citizen science. Overall, eBird is basically a framework that allows people to develop their own research questions. One of the things that can happen is that you can move into this space that's often called community-based science, where you pair a scientist with a community that has very specific questions. What we've seen is that this allows them to start questioning and asking things about their place. A good example of this is that there are various ejidos in Mexico that are interested in being able to certify their forests by the presence of the birds that are there. If there are certain birds there, then the forest can be certified by CONABIO, a regulatory group in Mexico.
The process of their actively understanding this and going out and seeing the bird connects the management action with the impact, and it allows them to see things that otherwise they wouldn't have seen.
