Now that the observation period for City Nature Challenge has ended, we're working hard to identify the 11,650+ observations shared. We want your help, so that we can have "research grade" data for scientists to utilize, and our species count can climb higher.
ID to the best of your ability. Changing something from a very broad category to something more specific helps!
Head to our CNC ABQ Identify Page to get started:
Filter by whatever you're best at identifying, or browse through a random assortment.
These resources from iNaturalist will help you work through the different categories of living things:
