Record wildlife sightings and contribute to biodiversity monitoring

Observation.org records sightings of birds, plants, and other wildlife. Users add observations and photographs, with image recognition providing identification suggestions. Expert validation and automated checks examine the records as they become part of the shared collection.
Projects range from local BioBlitz events to ongoing monitoring, with tools for organizations and individual observers. Mobile sessions can record a route or point count, while filters organize a person's sighting history. Open data is available through GBIF for further analysis. A participant can identify and record what they encounter, follow the resulting record, and contribute to a project studying a place or species group.
