NatureWatch NZ is a citizen science project dedicated to exploring and discovering New Zealand's biodiversity. If you see an unusual or interesting bug, plant, or any other species, take a photo of it, upload the photo to NatureWatch NZ, and learn all about it. The NatureWatch NZ online community will ID your species for you. You can also help others to ID their photos, and you can join (or create!) projects about the species and places you're most interested in.
Together, we're documenting what's living in NZ so we can understand NZ nature better, and have fun while we do it.
NatureWatch NZ is the New Zealand part of the amazing global iNaturalist network. Thanks iNat!
