But wait, what is iNaturalist?
It’s one of the world’s most popular nature apps and the focus of our first ever #CitSciFri on September 27th, 2019! iNaturalist helps you identify life around you. Connect with a community of over 750,000 scientists and naturalists who can help you learn more about nature and help confirm identifications. By recording and sharing your observations, you help to create research quality data for scientists working to better understand and protect nature. iNaturalist is a joint initiative by the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society.
