• Joining the project will automatically collect any observations you submit during the conference.

Step 3: Capture observations!

• An ‘observation’ is a photo or audio recording of any living organism that is submitted to iNaturalist.
• Prizes will be awarded to the student members with the highest number of observations and the most species observed (as tallied by iNaturalist).
