Dr Philip Roetman was involved in running innovative citizen science projects and events at UniSA from 2007 until 2018. These projects engaged thousands of citizen scientists in activities like counting koalas, tracking cats, spotlighting in rockpools, and recording bat calls. The data collected have been useful in understanding the distributions of species, the home-ranges of domestic pets, the management of abundant species, and the locations of threatened species. Projects included BioBlitz events, the Great Koala Count 2, Cat Tracker, Birding the ‘burbs, Little Corellas, Edible Gardens, FlukerPosts and Goanna Watch. Philip is now an adjunct with university.
