What's New in 2021?

  • Our boundaries have expanded to include Sandoval County and Valencia County, in addition to Bernalillo County!
  • Phoenix, Arizona has challenged us to see who can make the most observations!
  • This global challenge has grown to more than 450 cities in 43 countries on 6 continents!

Submit any last observations by first thing Monday morning! & Sunday is the last chance to help ID species!

Thank you all for making our second year of participating in City Nature Challenge such a success! We're up to 4,972 observations of 995 species by 314 observers!

A few new observations are rolling in and we'd love to make it to 5,000. If you know people who may not have finished uploading observations, please encourage them to do so!

We'd also love to surpass the 1,000 species mark. If you're an expert in a taxonomic group and want to help us identify a few more species, can you help go through the unidentified observations to improve the identifications? Below you'll find links that will take you to the unidentified observations in the different taxa. You can easily edit the filter if you are an expert in more than one category.

Sunday is our last full day to submit observations and make identifications. The CNC organizers will be tallying everyone's totals first thing this Monday morning. Please help if you can!

Thank you again for participating!
Best wishes,
Laurel & Selena

Here are links to the pages for identifying species of a few different taxa:

herps:

insects and spiders:

mammals:

fungi:

If you are not an expert, but want to help, here are the observations that are yet to be categorized. We need help going through these observations to put them into the different taxonomic categories.

Finish Uploading and Work on IDing!

Thank you to everyone who made observations during the City Nature Challenge. You are part of the global community of nearly 40,000 observers who participated in this worldwide Citizen Science project.
To explore the global observations: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020

There's still more to be done!

CNC ABQ needs your help to...

Finish uploading your observations

You have until Sunday night to upload any observations you made during the four-day observation period. If you took photos on your phone, you can upload them through the app. If you made observations using a camera, you can upload using the iNaturalist Upload page (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/upload); we recommend watching this short video on how to best use iNaturalist’s Photo Uploader: https://vimeo.com/167431843.

Help with identifications

In iNaturalist, go to your city’s project, click “Observations” and you’ll see an “Identify” button pop up just below it. Clicking this will take you to the iNaturalist Identify page and show you all of your city’s observations that still need to be identified. From this page, you can restrict what it shows you by taxon, which helps if you know how to ID certain groups. If you’re not an expert in any group, you can still help by identifying the “unknowns” - the observations with no IDs at all! Click the “Filters” button and then select the dashed-line leaf with a question mark in it. This will show you all the observations that are currently listed as “unknown.” It’s really helpful to go through these and add high-level IDs like “plants” or “insects” or “birds” or “fungi” - whatever you know about the organism - so people who do know how to ID these groups down to species can find them! Here’s a short video about using the Identify page: https://vimeo.com/246153496

Mark observations as "not wild"

If you know you made observations of organisms that were not wild, but forgot to select "captive/cultivated" before uploading them, please do so now! Every observation has a "Data Quality Assessment" at the bottom of the page, one of the lines says "Organism is Wild." Once you've done that for your observations, you can also look through the other observations made in your city and help us out by doing the same: if you see an observation of something that is OBVIOUSLY not wild (a plant growing in a pot, a fish in a fish tank, a vegetable in a garden, etc.), then go ahead and click that thumbs down for "Organism is Wild!"

Thank you to everyone who participated!

2020 City Nature Challenge

Calling all ABQ-area naturalists!

Make iNaturalist observations in Bernalillo County during the City Nature Challenge (April 24-27, 2020) to help Albuquerque compete against cities around the world. Last year, Albuquerque placed in the top five worldwide in seven different categories.
Results from 2019
