bullet::::- projects in brazil include: i) platform and mobile app 'missions' has been developed by ibm in their são paulo research lab with brazil's ministry for environment and innovation (bmei). sergio borger, an ibm team lead in são paulo, devised the crowdsourced approach when bmei approached the company in 2010. they were looking for a way to create a central repository for the rainforest data. users can upload photos of a plant species and its components, enter its characteristics (such as color and size), compare it against a catalog photo and classify it. the classification results are juried by crowdsourced ratings. ii) exoss citizen science is a member of astronomers without borders and seeks to explore the southern sky for new meteors and radiants. users can report meteor fireballs through uploading pictures on to a webpage or by linking to youtube. iii) the information system on brazilian biodiversity (sibbr) was launched in 2014 "aiming to encourage and facilitate the publication, integration, access and use of information about the biodiversity of the country." their initial goal "was to gather 2.5 million occurrence records of species from biological collections in brazil and abroad up to the end of 2016. it is now expected that sibbr will reach nine million records in 2016." andrea portela said: "in 2016, we will begin with the citizen science. they are tools that enable anyone, without any technical knowledge, to participate. with this we will achieve greater engagement with society. people will be able to have more interaction with the platform, contribute and comment on what brazil has. iv) the brazilian marine megafauna project (iniciativa pro mar) is working with the european csa towards its main goal, which is the "sensibilization of society for marine life issues" and concerns about pollution and the over-exploitation of natural resources. having started as a project monitoring manta ray, it now extends to whale shark and educating schools and divers within the santos area. its social media activities include a live streaming of a cs course to help divers identify marine megafauna. v) a smartphone app called plantix has been developed by the leibniz centre for agricultural landscape research (zalf) which helps brazilian farmers discover crop diseases quicker and helps fight them more efficiently. brazil is a very large agricultural exporter, but between 10-30% of crops fail because of disease. "the database currently includes 175 frequently occurring crop diseases and pests as well as 40,000 photos. the identification algorithm of the app improves with every image which records a success rate of over 90 per cent as of approximately 500 photos per crop disease." vi) in an atlantic ocean forest region in brazil, an effort to map the genetic riches of soil is under way. the drugs from dirt initiative, based at the rockefeller university, seeks to turn up bacteria that yield new types of antibiotics- the brazilian region being particularly rich in potentially useful bacterial genes. approximately a quarter of the 185 soil samples have been taken by citizen scientists without which the project could not run.
