- In the Smoky Mountains, a volunteer effort aims to document every species — before it’s too late
Volunteers in Great Smoky Mountains National Park are documenting rare species like lichens and fungi through the Gang of Retirees in Search of Life’s Diversity (GRISLD) group. Their work supports the all taxa biodiversity inventory (ATBI) project, which tracks biodiversity amid climate change threats and funding cuts to federal monitoring programs.
