Figure 3. — Fifty-nine published accounts on bioblitzes were screened for the five most common aims for running a bioblitz after which, for each of the publications, the aims were ranked in accordance to their importance ranging between 1 for the aim with the lowest importance and 5 for the aim with the highest importance. The following five aims were scored: inventory (i.e., creating a biodiversity inventory), learning (i.e., improving knowledge of the participants), new species (i.e., discovering new species to an area), promotion (i.e., promoting an organization), and public engagement. Either inventory or public engagement was found to be the most important aim (scores of 5) in 90% of the publications, whereas the promotion of an organization was the lowest ranked aim (scores of 1) in most of the publications.
