- W4386484471 abstract "DiversityIndia, founded in 2001, is an online community dedicated to promoting meaningful discussions and facilitating the exchange of diverse perspectives on lesser-known taxonomic groups, including butterflies, moths, dragonflies, spiders, and more. The core idea behind DiversityIndia is to establish a network of like-minded individuals who possess a deep passion for these subjects and actively participate in various aspects of biodiversity observation and research. Initially, the taxonomic focus of DiversityIndia centered around butterflies, which led to the creation of the ButterflyIndia Yahoo email group. The group quickly gained recognition for its significant contributions in sharing valuable insights about butterflies, including information about their habitats and lesser-known species. ButterflyIndia also played a vital role in facilitating connections among scientists and researchers who were dedicated to studying Lepidoptera. As a result of its collaborative efforts, the group actively contributed to major book projects and web portals, further enhancing the knowledge and resources available to the butterfly research community. As time progressed, the group expanded its presence to include various social media platforms like Orkut, Facebook, Flickr and more, thereby expanding its influence and reach. The realization of a significant need for empirical research on butterflies, requiring the involvement of both specialists and enthusiasts across diverse habitats, led to the first ButterflyIndia Meet in 2004 at Shendurney, Kerala. This pioneering concept garnered immense success, attracting participants from diverse regions of the country and backgrounds. Since then, several ButterflyIndia Meets have been organized, resulting in the documentation of numerous butterfly species. Building upon this success, DragonflyIndia and SpiderIndia were established with similar objectives and have successfully coordinated multiple gatherings (Fig. 1). One of the most notable DiversityIndia Meets occurred in April 2022, held in Sundarbans, West Bengal. This particular meet marked a significant milestone as the documented dataset, comprising information on all taxonomic groups observed during the event, was published through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (Roy et al. 2022). This publication allowed for wider accessibility and utilization of the valuable biodiversity data collected during the meet. In addition to the Sundarbans meet, ongoing efforts are currently underway to gather occurrence data from all the previous meetings conducted by DiversityIndia (Table 1). The aim is to compile and mobilize this data on GBIF as datasets, involving active participation from the members who attended these meetings. This endeavor seeks to maximize the availability and usefulness of the biodiversity information gathered through the various DiversityIndia Meets over time. According to the published records so far (Global Biodiversity Information Facility 2023), there are 1663 documented occurrences from 859 taxa belonging to 14 taxonomic classes, covering various biogeographies in India. These records provide valuable insights into the biodiversity of the country. DiversityIndia has indeed played a pioneering role in online citizen science in India, and its origins can be traced back to the original Yahoo groups. By bringing together specialists and enthusiasts alike, this community has successfully contributed to the comprehensive documentation and understanding of India's rich biodiversity. The collective efforts of the members serve as a testament to the enduring impact of citizen science in pushing the boundaries of our knowledge regarding the natural world." @default.
