October 28-31st 2022

Discover what wild things inhabit the Southern Hemisphere in 2022 for the third Great Southern BioBlitz!

The ‘Great Southern BioBlitz’, or ‘GSB’ for short, is an international period of intense biological surveying in an attempt to record all the living species across the Southern Hemisphere in Spring.

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’.

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 greater public in science and nature learning.

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 us to observe life at this time of year!

GSB22 will be held from Friday the 28th of October until the end of Monday on the 31st of October, incorporating different communities, areas and regions across the Southern Hemisphere.
