We’re excited to share the news that iNaturalist is now an independent nonprofit!

The National Biodiversity Network Trust, Biological Records Centre and Marine Biological Association are proud members of the iNaturalist Network, a partnership that supports iNaturalistUK. This arrangement allows people from the UK to tap into the powerful global iNaturalist community to share and identify observations and provide invaluable biodiversity data for research and conservation.

We’re excited to share the news that iNaturalist is now an independent nonprofit. Rest assured that the platform and its data can still be accessed free of charge, and all of the features the contributors love about it will remain the same. Since its launch in 2008, iNaturalist has grown a vibrant global community of people who care about biodiversity, and the data generated by the community serves as an essential source for research and conservation decisions around the world.

The iNaturalist community will continue to expand our collective knowledge of biodiversity long into the future, and we look forward to growing along with iNaturalist, as they enter the next phase of their organisational development.
