Record wildlife sightings and contribute to biodiversity monitoring
iNaturalist
Record nature observations and learn with a community
Meet iNaturalist
iNaturalist records the organisms people encounter and helps identify them. Photograph a plant, animal, fungus, or other observation, then add its location and time. The app suggests an identification, and community members confirm or refine it through review and discussion.
The observations form a personal sightings record and contribute data for biodiversity research and conservation. Explore records nearby or look for a species in other regions to compare what people have found. Photographs, place, time, and community identification remain connected within each record. The nonprofit project makes that collected information available to researchers using observations of where organisms live.
