iNaturalist Canada: How to Create Projects and Run Bioblitzes

CWF has teamed up with the Royal Ontario Museum to provide a place where Canadians can record and share what they see in nature, meet other nature observers, and learn about our wildlife. By participating as a citizen scientist, you can contribute to a growing wealth of knowledge of Canadian species and help conserve our natural world.

Canadians are spending most of their lives indoors – reports indicate as much as 90 per cent of our time is spent inside. Both doctors and scientists confirm that a lack of exposure to nature actually contributes to human illness. Our disconnection from nearby nature is a prime reason for the declining state of human health, both mental and physical. The challenge is trying to connect people to nature, to get them outside and discovering the benefits of immersing one’s self in nature. At CWF, we want an appreciation for nature to be an intrinsic value shared by all Canadians.
