Further advancing the expert bioblitz for the rainforest conservation toolkit

Here, we reiterate the importance of the expert bioblitz to advance conservation, as championed in the excellent article by Parker et al. (2018). We contribute three additional ideas to their advances, using our own case study of a recent bioblitz in Malaysia: (a) prioritize inclusivity of diverse participants and stakeholders; (b) execute whole‐forest surveys including canopy access teams and surveying all taxa; and (c) direct the bioblitz toward a specific conservation outcome, in our case a UNESCO biosphere nomination. With the significant degradation of tropical rainforests, we urge colleagues to advocate for expert bioblitzes that specifically lead to long‐term conservation of important biodiversity sites and/or critical sites with easy access to large human populations.
