Thank you for this question.
I'll add a bit and then I would suggest to the chair that Parks Canada may have a big role to play and may have some comments on this as well.
I think the portal is a good start to this, but a lot of the public might not be aware of it. As we grow citizen science projects, I think it would be very helpful to have communications and outreach strategies to work with schools and with communities to really expand on things. Right now, it's a bit of word of mouth by people that know eBird or iNaturalist and work with each other on this.
I will suggest that we hear a bit from Parks Canada here because it has a very valuable role in communicating and connecting science with the public.
