        <problem_statement>Researchers studying environmental change often lack continuous, up-to-date field data across wide geographic areas, making it difficult to monitor ecosystems effectively.&#13;
&#13;
Current environmental monitoring relies heavily on costly equipment, satellite imagery, or limited field visits, which creates data gaps.&#13;
&#13;
Public interest in contributing to environmental science is high, but there are few structured, scalable ways to harness citizen participation.&#13;
&#13;
Communities often see environmental changes firsthand, but there is no simple way to share those observations in a way that directly supports scientific research. This results in missed opportunities for collaboration between the public and researchers.</problem_statement>
