iNaturalist Australia
The ALA has recently joined the iNaturalist network. iNaturalist has an excellent crowd-sourced species identification system and access to a huge global network of identifiers and observers. By becoming a member of the iNaturalist Network, the ALA will have its own local node called iNaturalist Australia.
Already, all data collected and shared with iNaturalist can be viewed in the ALA. The ALA-iNaturalist collaboration will focus on using the iNaturalist platform for individual sightings in the ALA, which will mean better species identification and data quality. Over the next few months, ALA users will be encouraged to log sightings through iNaturalist Australia. If you have any questions or would like more information, contact support@ala.org.au.
