CITY NATURE CHALLENGE Loja Biodiversa 2026 Green Jewel en coordinación con Carrera de Ingeniería Forestal, realizaron la capacitación sobre "Ciencia Ciudadana y Uso de iNaturalist" a estudiantes de Ingeniería Forestal de la Universidad Nacional de Loja que participaran del City Nature Challenge

Today we kicked off our City Nature Challenge activities, with an iNaturalist training session and wildlife walk at Handworth Park! It was great to see so many people using iNaturalist to record the park's wildlife!

1 DAY TO GO! 🌿🐾 Tomorrow’s the day! Join the City Nature Challenge in Darwin and Palmerston and help showcase the amazing biodiversity right in our backyard. Snap a photo, record a sound, and upload it to iNaturalist 📸 Every observation counts- let’s make this our biggest year yet! 💚

Two Days to go! This weekend The City Nature challenge, Darwin and Palmerston will be held all weekend, use the iNaturalist.org platform to upload your nature record

Not long till the #CNC2026 … and it’s not just what you see Tracks, feathers, nests, shells — the signs of life count too. Not every observation needs the organism itself 👀 Look closer

This City Nature Challenge, we will be celebrating nature in Darwin & Palmerston with the Field Naturalists 8.30 am on Sunday 26 April at Casuarina Coastal Reserve. Meet in the free beach carpark at the end of Daribah Road.

The City Nature Challenge (CNC) is an annual four-day event where people around the world use iNaturalist to document the plants, animals, fungi, and other wildlife living in their cities and neighborhoods. 2026 marks the 11th year of the CNC! www.inaturalist.org/pages/cityna...

Campbell’s Sandgroper (Cylindracheta campbelli) from Herbert, NT, observed by ©aeshpaige. A rarely seen underground insect that lives in sandy soils, with very few recorded observations. www.inaturalist.org/observations... #Insects #NorthernTerritory #Biodiversity #iNaturalist

Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) from Middle Point, NT, observed by © Lachlan Copeland. The largest living reptile and an apex predator found across northern Australia in rivers, wetlands and coastal waters. #Crocodile #NorthernTerritory #Wildlife #Australia #Biodiversity

#Utricularia minutissima from# Darwin, NT 📷 © Graham Zemunik This tiny terrestrial #CarnivorousPlant grows in damp open areas and captures microscopic prey using tiny bladder traps. Often overlooked due to its small size. www.inaturalist.org/observations... #CarnivorousPlants #Botany #Biodiversity

A late cyclone, heavy rain and flooding across the #TopEnd remind us how important weather forecasts and warnings are. This #WorldMetDay we recognise the global meteorological community whose observations and forecasts help protect lives and communities.

With diesel being almost $3/litre in Melbourne, I’m thinking about the paceometer idea more and more. Difference to drive 1km at 100kmh and 120kmh is only 6seconds. Great video explainer share.google/iUewnt2cuJ00...

Northern Sulphur-crested #Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita fitzroyi) from #Kakadu, #NorthernTerritory observed by © Jaakko J. Ilvonen in #iNaturalist This subspecies occurs across northern Australia and is identified by its pale blue eye ring & longer yellow crest. www.inaturalist.org/observations...

As we head towards autumn in Australia, there’s been a definite increase in moth diversity that we’re seeing in our Perth Hills garden. A selection from last night: Common Gum Emerald Striped Hawkmoth Heliotrope Moth Proteuxoa sp. ANIC9 #teammoth #ausinverts #wildoz #Lepidoptera #inaturalist
