About iNaturalist: iNaturalist is a global online network where users share biodiversity observations through photos and sound recordings. These observations help to track species distributions and population changes over time as the crowdsourced data is verified by other community members and experts. Swan Lake Volunteers observing the plants, animals, and other more-than-human dwellers has a huge impact for the conservation and management of these lands and waters as the urban density impacts increase.
