iNaturalist has become one of the world’s most popular nature apps and the Canadian Wildlife Federation has led the charge in bringing it to Canada. But the strength behind iNaturalist is thanks to a wonderful community of people contributing observations and identifications. An observation of a species is most valuable when it comes along with an accurate species ID. And to help with that, thousands of people play an extremely valuable role, helping identify observations across Canada. This webinar will not be teaching how to identify a species, but you don’t have to be an expert to contribute: you can probably tell the difference between an American Robin and a Blue Jay or a squirrel from a chipmunk. But you can be an expert, helping to distinguish between species like an Orange-belted Bumblebee and a Red-belted Bumblebee. You’ll then be equipped and ready to contribute to the City Nature Challenge, the largest annual initiative on iNaturalist, happening April 30 to May 9, 2021.

With the outbreak of COVID-19, the interconnection between people and nature has been brought to the forefront through increased awareness on the impacts we have on wildlife. Some areas in Canada may see an increase in visible wildlife while human activity is temporarily reduced. Whether this is a result of wildlife being more present or people are simply taking notice remains to be seen. You can help answer this question. Uploading photos of wildlife to iNaturalist.ca or using the free iNaturalist app will provide researchers with valuable information on where species are found during this time of decreased human presence on roads, in our towns and on trails. James Pagé, CWF Species At Risk and Biodiversity Specialist, will walk you through the ins and outs of using iNaturalist.ca and the iNaturalist app to record an observation as well as how to learn about what others are seeing around you during this time of isolation and physical distancing. Let’s stay connected with each other and nature.

Join the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) for a webinar in our Canadian Species Identification Webinar Series, demonstrating how to photograph and identify turtles using iNaturalist Canada, with CWF’s very own turtle expert David Seburn in English and CWF’s Annie Belair in French. Freshwater turtles are in decline throughout Canada. CWF’s HelpTheTurtles.ca initiative is working to change this but we need your help! Knowing where turtles are found is an important first step to fixing the problem. Tallying everyone's observations will help us target which roads we need to look at for mitigation measures and which wetlands we need to keep an eye on. By uploading your turtle sightings to iNaturalist.ca, you can directly contribute to turtle conservation. iNaturalist has become one of the world’s most popular nature apps and the Canadian Wildlife Federation has led the charge in bringing it to the forefront of Canadian citizen science. CWF is carrying out our own surveys on roads and in wetlands for at-risk turtles and working with Scales Nature Park, but we can't be everywhere. Your information is critical so we can work with municipalities and transport agencies to reduce the risks to turtles. Learn how to identify turtle species and take identifiable photos of turtles to help us, help them! English Webinar Date: May 24, 2022, 12:00-1:00 ET French Webinar Date: May 26, 2022, 12:00-1:00 ET
