Please contact us to create your own priority species data collection platform on NatureMapr.
NatureMapr is a wonderful citizen science data provider, born and bred right here in Canberra. Citizen science records uploaded to NatureMapr are responsible for the identification and rapid control of invasive species across the ACT, as well as the documentation of new species and endangered populations that we are working to protect. Thanks to a hard-working team of volunteer expert moderators, NatureMapr ensures conservation land management decisions in the ACT are based on the best available data.

One of the key features of NatureMapr, compared to other Citizen Science platforms, is NatureMapr’s reliance on experienced and expert moderators to confirm the identification of a record. This is important for three main reasons:
- Ensuring native plant and invasive plant look-a-likes are not confused
- Achieving higher data quality for planning control of invasive plant species
- Maintaining data quality for rare or threatened native plant species locations
