Annually, the City Nature Challenge invites cities from across the world to compete to see who can log the most nature observations on iNaturalist over four days.
Not only is this challenge a fun way to explore nature in our own backyard, but knowing what species are in our city and where they are helps us study and protect them.
Taking part is simple;
π explore wildlife between Friday 25 and Monday 28 April 2025

π² share it to the iNaturalist app.
