Observation Service
Nature often changes first in small ways — and people may notice those changes before systems do.
You do not need to be an expert. A small observation can become valuable when it is combined with observations from other people around the world.
What can you report?
Birds, plants, insects, mammals, fungi, weather, water and other changes you notice in the natural world.
Why does it matter?
A single observation may be small, but together observations can reveal weak signals and early signs of change.
How it works
1
Observe
Notice something new, unusual or changing in nature.
2
Submit
Describe what you noticed in your own words and add the location.
3
Review
The observation is reviewed before it is published.
Privacy & sensitive locations
Observer identity is not published. Sensitive and exact locations are generalized before publication.
Did you notice something different in nature?
Do not assume your observation is too small. Small observations can become the first indication of a larger change.
