Species finder helps the public catalog new species
The site enables anybody in the public to ‘Upload’ any photos they have taken of potential new species, where a few selected ‘Specialists’ can review them.

Rare species can be catalogued by specialists and located on a map for future reference.
If you would like to contribute to this worthy cause please follow this link for instructions.
