iNaturalist

“"Sexy Species Near You!" or "Deuxmoi for plants and animals" We love a primary source! iNaturalist is basically a user-led image database/map of realtime flora and fauna sightings. This is how I found out Green Wood Cemetery has a huge colony of skunks but no bats (and Prospect Park is crawling with bats but no Skunks??).”

“Using iNaturalist turns your everyday walks into real scientific contributions- take a photo of a plant, insect, or animal and the community helps identify it. Your observations help researchers track biodiversity, monitor species populations, and better understand how nature is changing around us”

“It is so fun to discover what is around you. And to contribute to citizen science.”
