Canberra nature map

Map species diversity and location around the ACT

You can help map Canberra’s species diversity and locations by adding entries to the Canberra nature map app or visiting the website at https://canberra.naturemapr.org.

Information provided through the Canberra nature map app helps land managers know the health and location of a range of animal and plant species. Contributing is as simple as uploading a photo or a sound recording of where you see a plant or animal in your local area. You can also suggest what species it might be – but don’t worry if you’re not sure, as trained volunteers manage the data uploaded to Canberra’s nature map to ensure it is accurate.
