• A web-based system to view, record and process your natural history observations (birds, plants, butterflies, mushrooms, reptiles, frogs and mammals).
• Sponsored by Terrestrial & Freshwater Biodiversity Information System Fund (TFBIS).
• Adapted for New Zealand from the highly successful, prize-winning Swedish Artportalen (species gateway) system.
• Artportalen receives over 5000 bird records a day, and several hundred records of other organisms per day.
• Create distribution maps, graphs, and species lists.
• Fill gaps in our knowledge of native species ecology and the spread of pests.
• Provide secure storage for data outside institutional plot-based databases.
• Facilitate neighbourhood or school nature watch projects.
• Validation and privacy options.
• Raise awareness of our natural history among the general public and school children.
• Operated by an independent stakeholder steering committee with connection to NZ node of GBIF.
