NaturaList [iPhone]

NaturaList allows you to record your sightings easily and for free, directly in the field or later on. You can include all details you would record in your notebook – for your personal archives but also to contribute to nature conservation and science. No more time wasted copying your data once you get home, no observations forgotten, no uncertain locations: your sightings are located precisely thanks to maps and GPS. NaturaList is also easy to use with only one hand.

Your data are securely stored in the portal https://data.biolovision.net, where you will always have access to your own data, and are then shared with a steadily increasing number of partner databases operated by nature conservation organizations around the world ( (e.g. https://www.ornitho.ch, https://www.ornitho.it, https://www.ornitho.de, https://www.faune-france.org, https://www.ornitho.at, https://www.ornitho.cat, https://www.fauna.hr, https://www.ornitho.pl, https://www.orchisauvage.fr, https://www.ornitho.eus, https://www.faune-guyane.org. Complete and up to date list available in the app or the web portal).

Our partner https://www.ornitho.cat was awarded ”Best Citizen Science Award” in 2015 and the Catalan environment award “El Premi Medi Ambient de la Generalitat” in 2017.

About 280'000 users, including many specialists of various taxonomic groups, already rely on our systems on several platforms, particularly in Europe.

Additionally, you can also see what other users have recorded around you - common species or rarities. A small support fee is asked for this feature, to allow maintenance and additional development for this app. Your help is very welcome. Thanks.
