Biological Data Collection Tools

While there are many organizations working to gather information about the world's biodiversity, there are still many data gaps! The goal of this initiative is to mobilize both the community and professionals to collect accessible and unbiased baseline data across this urbanizing landscape.

Why do we need them?

Collecting enough adequate data is  necessary for all projects across our landscape, whether it is for scientific research or planning development.


Having specific information about habitat use by our native species is imperative to ensure any development planning takes into consideration the correct and most up-to-date information about the land. 


Having this information will also make any scientific research more efficient and far less time consuming!

Who uses these tools?

The community!

 

We believe the people who live in any areas targeted for development or other land use plans are the best eyes and ears to detect any and all plant and animal residents. 

How are these tools used?

By simply using an app for your smartphone!

Our Smartphone Applications

MyField App

This smartphone application is available for both iPhone and Android users! Get started by creating an account today!


How is it used?

  1. To easily document any notable sighting of a plant or animal, use this app to simply take a picture of your observation. 
  2. Other relevant data are automatically assigned to the photo (i.e. date, time, location, weather), and the user can add more information when possible (i.e. type of plant or animal). 
  3. The photo and data are saved in your app, and can later be uploaded to your Aerial Field Diary on our Aerial database. 
  4. All submissions to the Aerial database are anonymous!
  5. Log into your Aerial account any time to view and edit your Aerial Field Diary!

My Field App and Aerial Updates (v1.0.4)

Taking Photos

The new update for My Field App will allow Users to use photos from their phone library in a new data entry. 

Edit Location in Aerial

Be sure to check and adjust the location of observations in your Aerial diary, as it is necessary to get accurate locations for analysis later!  

Species ID confirmation

Our staff will check the data uploaded to Aerial and adjust or confirm species identifications as necessary. 

You will see our edited changes and "confirmed" species identifications in your field diary in Aerial.  

Data Sharing

We are currently working on coordinating with global organizations such as GBIF to share these valuable observations with the public.
