Local Climate Change and the Proliferation of Mosquitoes: an Approach Using the GLOBE Observer
Local climate change has been associated with the increased proliferation of disease-vector mosquitoes, representing an environmental and public health concern. This study analyzed the relationship between local climatic variables and mosquito breeding sites using data collected through the GLOBE Observer application, specifically the Mosquito Habitat Mapper protocol. A qualitative and descriptive approach was adopted, involving field observations conducted by basic education students. The findings highlight the educational and scientific relevance of citizen science tools in environmental monitoring and health awareness. KEYWORDS. Climate change. Vector mosquitoes. Citizen science. GLOBE Observer.
