iNaturalist is a global, community-powered biodiversity platform that allows users to record, identify, and share observations of plants, animals and fungi. Photos and associated information can be verified by a worldwide community of naturalists and the resulting observations contribute to an open database used for biodiversity research and conservation. The platform combines species identification, citizen science, and nature education, making it useful for both beginners and experienced naturalists.
The app is available in many different languages.
App "ObsIdentify"
