What is iNaturalist?
iNaturalist is a not-for-profit social network of people, who share biodiversity information which helps each other conserve and learn more about nature. It has been run since 2008 now with more than 3 million users on the app and over 190 million observations worldwide.
The network works with the Atlas of Living Australia and Plants of the World Online to assist all people to identify and broaden their understanding of living things.
