EuroBioBlitz is a Europe-wide wildlife recording event taking place on 29 and 30 September 2023. Anyone across the continent can support ecological research by uploading photos of their local wildlife to the iNaturalist app.
How to take part
You can take part as an individual, by simply uploading photos of your local wildlife that you see on 29 and 30 September to the free iNaturalist app. Alternatively, you could go that one step further by organising a walk to help your local community, friends or colleagues to discover the wildlife that’s on their doorstep.
To receive free information, guidance, and resources to help you along the way, head to the Natural History Consortium website where there is support to help you run your own mini wildlife-recording event during EuroBioBlitz 2023. This could range from a 20 minute walk using the iNaturalist app to record the wildlife that you see around your workplace, to a full-day BioBlitz event with activities like pond-dipping and expert-led guided walks – you decide!
Resources for EuroBioBlitz are available in English, Spanish, French, Polish, Portuguese, Italian, German, and Swedish.
