Bioblitzes help build snapshots of local biodiversity, and are also a great way for people to build familiarity with the local ecosystem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Educator Training:<\/strong> teachers, guest educators, and other professionals may be called upon by their organization to use iNaturalist with their students. Whether the goal is to bring people outdoors or use iNaturalist&#8217;s taxonomic and biogeographic functions indoors, I can provide experienced support to educators looking to understand best practices and unlock the full potential of iNaturalist as a tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Identification Party:<\/strong> a group can get together in a comfortable indoor setting and explore biodiversity by learning about individual species, larger families, and taxonomy as a whole by browsing and identifying species on iNaturalist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Planning Session:<\/strong> iNaturalist can be a useful tool to help you plan research, birding, ecotourism, and other activities where you are engaged with the natural world. The web platform is intricate, and I can show you how to use it to answer questions what biodiversity looks like in different places and in different groups of life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nature Photography:<\/strong> taking photos of nature can be a great joy, but also at times quite a challenge. I can guide people in learning techniques for photography of small or difficult-to-find subjects; or for shooting in natural settings where wielding a camera is physically challenging or awkward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d like me to help facilitate any of these activities with a group, or if you have other ideas for collaboration, please <a href=\"mailto:guerric.hache@proton.me\"><strong>send me an email<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"24\" height=\"16\" class=\"wp-image-61\" style=\"width: 24px;\" src=\"https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Flag-Quebec-1904971291.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Flag-Quebec-1904971291.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Flag-Quebec-1904971291-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Flag-Quebec-1904971291-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Flag-Quebec-1904971291-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Flag-Quebec-1904971291-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 24px) 100vw, 24px\" \/> Je parle aussi fran\u00e7ais, et je peux discuter en fran\u00e7ais des esp\u00e8ces naturelles pr\u00e9sentes dans la grande r\u00e9gion de Vancouver &#8211; avec un petit pr\u00e9avis \u00e0 l&#8217;avance pour revoir mon vocabulaire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"24\" height=\"16\" class=\"wp-image-62\" style=\"width: 24px;\" src=\"https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Germany-Flag-2085574522.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Germany-Flag-2085574522.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Germany-Flag-2085574522-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Germany-Flag-2085574522-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/guerrichache.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Germany-Flag-2085574522-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 24px) 100vw, 24px\" \/> Ich kann auch Deutsch, und ich kann mit euch auf Deuthsch \u00fcber die verschiedene Lebewesen des Gro\u00dfraum Vancouver reden &#8211; aber mit etwas Vorwarnung, damit ich die Namen unseren Arten lernen oder wiederlernen kann!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am an iNaturalist ambassador, meaning I am a volunteer who can facilitate events that involve connecting the public with iNaturalist, an open science platform that hosts a community who share photo and audio recordings of wildlife to build a collaborative map of the world&#8217;s biodiversity.
