Making connections and contributing to the betterment of biodiversity has never been easier.

If you have just a few minutes of your day where you can step outside and connect with nature, you're already making a difference.

Just make as many iNaturalist observations as possible at JAC

Your photos will provide useful data for scientific biodiversity conservation purposes.

No sign-up needed.

Every observation can contribute to biodiversity science, from the rarest butterfly to the most common backyard weed. We share your findings with scientific data repositories like the Global Biodiversity Information Facility to help scientists find and use your data. All you have to do is observe.
