The nature report app of the Naturschutzbund Österreich: + Bumblebees, butterflies, dragonflies, birds, mammals, fungi, plants and much more wanted. + Simple reporting: Take a photo - select the species - done! + Experts help with identification and check your reports promptly. + Community: view pictures in photo boards and comment on or like them + An important contribution to biodiversity research in Austria! With the naturbeobachtung.at app from the Naturschutzbund Österreich you can quickly and easily photograph animals and plants from anywhere and report your observations to us. This is not only fun - you also make an important contribution to biodiversity research in Austria. You can also view other people's reports and comment on or "like" them. The app is an "extension" of the web version of the same name www.naturbeobachtung.at and can be used free of charge. Experts check the incoming reports promptly so that your data can be used for scientific purposes. ---------------------- NEW: Species search competitions! We regularly organise search competitions for specific animal or plant groups. During a campaign period, specially selected species are searched for. The winner is the person who can document as many of the prescribed species as possible or shares the most pictures. The low-threshold reporting possibility is also well suited for school lessons! ---------------------- NEW: Insect quizzes! As part of the "Insektenkenner" project, you can test your insect knowledge on selected insect groups. In increasing degrees of difficulty, you have to assign the correct species name to an insect photo shown. Beforehand, you can also simply test without scoring. ---------------------- General functions of the naturbeobachtung.at app: REPORT OBSERVATION 1. take photo(s) or select photo(s) from gallery 2. select animal species if known - otherwise others from the community determine your find 3. send and you are done!
