Within the flood of observations uploaded to iNaturalist NZ — Mātaki Taiao you can find some exceptional and important discoveries about New Zealand nature: new populations, new native species, new invasions, new behaviours, and new interactions.
We highlight some of the most important discoveries on our New Zealand Discoveries project. It contains observations of the species that are new to New Zealand, new to regions, new to science, or the first time a species has been seen in over a decade in a region or nationally.
