Citizen Scientists
Understanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle events — flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring — all around the world. But ecologists can't be( 51) so they're turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, for help.
Climate scientists are not present everywhere.( 52) there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them, they're asking for your help in( 53) signs of climate change across the world.

People participating in the project — which is ( 63) to everyone — record their observations on the Project Bud Burst website.
“People don't ( 64) to be plant experts — they just have to look around and see what's in their neighborhood,” says Jennifer Schwartz, an education consultant with the project. “As we collect this data, we'll be able to make an estimate of ( 65) plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.”
