What's in UP? Rediscovering our biodiversity
Do you have what it takes to be the best citizen scientist? Don't worry, you don't need a science degree to contribute to our ever-growing database of wildlife on campus (and in the world). All you need is a camera phone and the iNaturalist mobile app 😉 Imagine playing Pokémon GO but you're capturing (photos) of real-life plants and animals!
It's a win for everyone. We get to learn how rich the biodiversity is in UP Diliman, have fun beating each other out in the iNaturalist leaderboard for most number of observations, and contribute in The UP Wild's biodiversity project on campus!
