About Places
The world is full of interesting places, each filled with weird and wonderful life forms. Some are on the other side of the world, while others are just down the street!
iNaturalist NZ Places are a way to record what lives where. If you're looking for a particular species, you'll know where to search. Each place has a check list to record all the species that occur there, so they can also be useful for looking up things you've found at particular spots.
Species from around the world
Each place page displays all the species iNaturalist NZ knows about from that place, including information about their abundance, conservation status, and who was first to observe that species from that place on iNaturalist NZ. You can filter the species by taxonomic group, color, conservation status, or plain old search.
Localized species accounts
View photos, species ranges, iNaturalist NZ observations, and more! We've assembled information from many different sources and combined them for a quick summary of each species in each place.
