The program is one of many popping up all across the country which refer to their users as \u201ccitizen scientists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citizen scientists are expected to collect data, take photos and share a description of their experience on the website. In the year since the website began, there have been over 100 citizen scientist contributors and more than 1,100 observations submitted from people all over the country. <\/p>\n<p>The WyoBio team hopes to create an app so that it can be accessed on the go. They even hope to add a live chat so that one day citizen scientists can ask in real time what they are seeing in nature. <\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Top image:\u00a0Citizen scientists can help log wildlife and biodiversity as they hike Wyoming trails.
