Where, when, and what you saw is the basis of each observation you create. • Grounded in science: Every identification is connected to the tree of life, which means you can search for broad classifications like “Ferns” or “Fungi” as well as species-level identifications like “Humpback Whale” (and everything in between). • Advancing science & conservation: Millions of observations created and identified by the iNaturalist community are shared with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility where they are used to advance scientific understanding of biodiversity through open data and open science. • Enabling citizen science and community science: Join any of the tens of thousands of projects around the world on iNaturalist to draw attention to and collect data about particular species or places. • Not-for-profit: iNaturalist is a joint initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and...

2. The primary goal is to connect people to nature, and the secondary goal is to generate scientifically valuable biodiversity data from these personal encounters. iNaturalist helps you identify plants and animals with visually similar suggestions and verification by dedicated contributors.

3. By recording and sharing your observations, you'll create research-quality data for scientists working to better understand and protect nature. • Identification suggestions: Take or import a photo and view the top 10 most visually similar species matches and tap through to get more information.

4. Start with a broad identification like “plants” or “fungi” so others with more expertise can find it and refine the identification. • Keep a record of all living things: Build your life list by posting to iNaturalist.
