iNaturalist

iNaturalist is an interactive social networking resource that allows members from all over the world to collaborate and contribute to biodiversity research. The webpage iNaturalist.org was founded in 2008 as part of a master’s project at the UC Berkley’s School of Information and was continued with after graduation. Numerous collaborations lead to an expansion of iNaturalist, such as becoming an integrated project at the California Academy of Sciences (2014) and the National Geographic Society (2017). It was also in 2017 that the first version of the iNaturalist app was launched, connecting people and nature through on-hand technology ever since. Both the webpage and the mobile application are widely available and user friendly, lowering the threshold to actively get involved and start networking on an international basis.
