City Nature Challenge Now On!
Hey, Christchurch! Let’s show off our unique biodiversity and take on the world in a friendly, global competition! Everyone can contribute, whether you know heaps about biodiversity or are a nature newbie, and no matter where you are in Christchurch.
From April 26–29 we are making observations of as many species as we can from the Christchurch District (including the central city, suburbs, and Banks Peninsula), and upload them to iNaturalist.NZ (inaturalist.nz...). It’s our opportunity to fly the flag for New Zealand as one of the more than 160 cities on all seven continents taking part in the challenge.
Participation is easy and free! Download the iNaturalist app to your mobile device. From April 26-29, use the app to upload photos of organisms to iNaturalist NZ, and our friendly iNaturalist NZ community will help you identify them. It's as simple as that! You can also add observations straight to iNaturalist.NZ on the web if you prefer.
Results will be announced Tuesday, May 7, so be sure to upload your observations by then.
