iNaturalist
iNaturalist is a collaborative biodiversity platform developed by the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society.
It allows users to upload photos of plants, animals, fungi, and insects to be identified either by image recognition AI or a global community of experts and enthusiasts.
Observations contribute to scientific datasets used in research and conservation. iNaturalist is ideal for those with strong naturalist intelligence, fostering skills in taxonomy, ecological pattern recognition, and bioregional awareness.
It also teaches users to think like citizen scientists, contributing to global biodiversity tracking.
