Join Citizen Projects
India’s wildlife mapping depends on everyday naturalists. From birds to trees to insects, these projects invite anyone to record the living world and contribute to research across India.
Community Observations
Photograph any species — plants, insects, fungi, mammals, birds — and upload them to global biodiversity platforms.
Bird Monitoring
Track local birds, join seasonal counts, and contribute to population and migration research.
Biodiversity Portals
National repositories that collect species records across India. A knowledge base powered partly by citizens.
Seasonal Tree Tracking
Monitor flowering, fruiting and leaf cycles to understand climate signals in Indian landscapes.
How to begin
- Spot something interesting outdoors.
- Take a clear photo (avoid disturbing wildlife).
- Note the location and time.
- Upload on any official citizen-science platform.
- Keep observing weekly — consistency is valuable.
Community Observations
Photograph any wild species — insects, plants, mammals, reptiles, fungi — and upload on these public platforms. They help build global biodiversity maps and assist researchers studying climate and habitat change.
