Mulloon iNaturalist Project
For keen citizen scientists and users of iNaturalist the Mulloon Research and Monitoring team have set up an iNaturalist Project for the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative.
We have been using this for our annual frog surveys and to record sightings of flora and fauna in the field.
iNaturalist allows users to capture audio, video and images and even have them identified by other online community members to create research grade sightings and records.
These sightings feed into national databases like the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) and international databases such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
You can view the current sightings in Grid, List and Map View.

One of the highlight species recorded so far was a Diamond Firetail, a species classed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red list.
We have recorded these in recent Bird Surveys and sightings like the one below:
