About NatureMapr

Citizen science is accessible to all members of the community and is an integral part of a community's understanding and responsibility for the local biodiversity. NatureMapr is an interactive medium that uses sightings made by the local community to inform council and state decision-making regarding flora and fauna in your region.

NatureMapr's mission is to empower anybody to report plant or animal information anywhere in Australia and ensure the information gets to the people that need to know about it.
