Share your photos of animals, plants and mushrooms.
You can share photos of animals, plants and mushrooms with the community and enter habitats on the map. Participation is easy: take or select a photo and input your classification. The App is working together with Wikipedia, and you can select any animal, plant or mushroom species from around the world!
If you do not know the species' name, you can mark that and others in the App can help you with the identification.

A new community about nature and wildlife observations
You can browse others' nature photos and interact with them by leaving a quick comment, asking a question, or like the photo by giving a heart. Like yourself, other nature enthusiasts contribute their discoveries and knowledge in the App. We help each other with species identification, and our collective swarm intelligence is ready to stand always at your side. After joining up, the App is ready from the start, and you can upload the first photograph of the wildlife or a natural habitat immediately.

Non-commercial and independent
You can freely set up your user profile as you like and register with a minimum amount of personal data processed. There is no commercial interest behind NatureSpots, we respect your digital privacy, and we do not include trackers in the App.
NatureSpots is built by the team behind the Citizen Science platform SPOTTERON. Having an independent and community-driven App can help engage more people in caring about nature and biodiversity. One can only protect what is known - and in times of the loss of biodiversity, climate change and dangers to our environment, this is more important than ever.

Biodiversity data
NatureSpots is not just a photo app for nature exploration - together, we are also creating a nature inventory. In the App, you can add attributes like "Invasive species" or the number of observed animals, plants or mushrooms. Your entries help to document biodiversity or to re-discover endangered species. With such data, we can understand the threat to wildlife and ecology better. All entries are published anonymously as open data and can be freely used by nature conservation organisations, local initiatives or scientists.

Initiatives
We invite initiatives, nature conservation projects and associations to be part of NatureSpots! Especially small projects can use this modern nature app free of charge and collect data on biodiversity or the threat to habitats. Learn more on our website www.naturespots.net.

Open Data
All observations in the NatureSpots App are available as Open Data for free use. On the online map at www.naturespots.net/map, you can download the anonymised data-set to do your research or analysis, either in your region or globally.
