Resumo: | Citizen science encourages people to participate in scientific research projects. One of the best-known initiatives is the City Nature Challenge contest, aimed at recording biodiversity in cities through the iNaturalist application. The metropolitan region of La Paz, Bolivia, participated in this contest in 2019 and 2022 under the name Reto Ciudad Naturaleza, promoted by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Bolivia, the Biology Department and the Ecology Institute of the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés (UMSA), and the National Museum of Natural History (MNHN), who together formed an Organizing Committee. The objective was to strengthen the links between the urban population and nature so that they can contribute in improving knowledge about biodiversity and help to conserve Nature. The activities were based on the promotion and dissemination of the contest, training events in the use of iNaturalist, photographic registration, taxonomic identification events, and delivery of certificates to participants. In 2019, La Paz competed with 158 cities and achieved eighth place in number of species (3,005), third place in number of participants (1,500) and second place in number of observations (46,931). In 2022, 447 cities participated. La Paz led in all three categories of the contest, with 137,345 observations, 5,320 species and 4,296 participants. Beyond these results, the outstanding commitment of La Paz citizens to their biodiversity is resulting in an increasingly close link between the urban population and their natural environment. |

Una de las iniciativas más conocidas es el concurso City Nature Challenge, dirigida a registrar la biodiversidad en las ciudades mediante la aplicación iNaturalist. La región metropolitana de La Paz, Bolivia, participó de este concurso en 2019 y 2022 con el nombre de Reto Ciudad Naturaleza, gracias al impulso de Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Bolivia, la Carrera de Biología y el Instituto de Ecología de la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés (UMSA), y el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural (MNHN), que conformaron un Comité Organizador. El objetivo fue fortalecer los vínculos de la población urbana con la naturaleza para generar datos sobre el conocimiento y conservación de la biodiversidad. Las actividades se basaron en la promoción y difusión del concurso, eventos de capacitación en el manejo de aplicación iNaturalist, registro fotográfico, identificación taxonómica y entrega de certificados a los participantes. En 2019, La Paz compitió con 158 ciudades y consiguió el octavo lugar en número de especies (3.005), el tercer lugar en número de participantes (1.500) y el segundo en número de observaciones (46.931). En 2022, participaron 447 ciudades. La Paz lideró en las tres categorías del concurso, con 137.345 observaciones, 5.320 especies y 4.296 participantes. Más allá de estos resultados, destaca el compromiso de la ciudadanía paceña con su biodiversidad, lo que repercute en un vínculo cada vez más estrecho entre la población urbana y su entorno natural.A ciência cidadã encoraja às pessoas a participar em projetos de pesquisa científica.
