iNaturalist

Project Name: Monkey Bay National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary Biological Data

Monkey Bay uses iNaturalist as a citizen science tool to document the biodiversity within our protected areas and surrounding communities. Staff, volunteers, and visitors upload photos or audio recordings of species along with the location of each observation, creating a valuable record of local wildlife. Observations are identified and verified by the iNaturalist community, and support biodiversity monitoring, inform conservation efforts, and help highlight areas of ecological importance.

Merlin Bird id & Merlin eBird

Hotspot: Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

eBird and Merlin are valuable tools that help Monkey Bay monitor bird populations and track changes in avian diversity over time. eBird allows our team, volunteers, and visitors to contribute bird sightings to a global database, while the Merlin app provides real-time identification support using bird calls, photos, and location. Together, these platforms strengthen our bird monitoring efforts, enhance species records, and contribute to regional and international conservation initiatives.
