The NatureMapr website is a citizen science platform that helps organisations collect, manage and analyse information from the natural world. It has an associated app to submit entries and browse information.

The site has species-level information and photographs on local plants, fungi and animals, for each of the projects it supports.

Projects rely on volunteers

It is a great tool relied on by governments, local councils, biodiversity experts and environmental groups across Australia.

The NatureMapr website relies mostly on volunteers submitting images and information about the biodiversity of a particular region. For local naturalists this site is a great resource as well as an opportunity to contribute to local biodiversity knowledge.

The platform currently supports the following projects:

  • Canberra Nature Map
  • Atlas of Life in the Coastal Wilderness
  • Budawang Coast Nature Map
  • Southern Highlands Nature Map
  • Noosa Shire Nature Map
  • Albury Wodonga Nature Map
