NatureMapr is an innovative cloud software platform that helps organisations collect, manage and analyse information from the natural world. NatureMapr is relied on by governments, local councils, biodiversity experts and environmental groups across Australia. Read our story.

Shoalhaven City Council is proud to collaborate with the Atlas of Life Budawang Coast through the NatureMapr platform. Shoalhaven is an important ecological hotspot with many recorded species at their Northern and Southern Limits. Geologically we are at the edge of Sydney Sandstone, with curiosities like Milton Monzonite rock fertilizing the rich soils around Milton. The Atlas is a fantastic tool to ground truth who our locals are ( flora and fauna wise) and as our data bank grows in species and longitudinal representation we have an opportunity to understand how our part of the biosphere is responding to climate disruption. A recent winner of the prestigious Banksia Awards for sustainability this platform brings us all great opportunity to better understand our natural world through high quality data that can help in conservation and spatial planning. A must have for all local government areas that have high levels of biodiversity to manage.

Canberra Nature Map (CNM) has transformed the way that wildlife information is collected, reported and accessed across the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). In doing so it has significantly increased our understanding of wildlife distribution and abundance and has informed and changed daily land management practice. It is having a revolutionary impact in terms of our understanding and management actions. I strongly endorse the adoption of the programming tools and flexibility that has driven CNM to other regions, wildlife of interest or citizen science projects.

We'd like to give a big-shout out to our software developers NatureMapr, who have just received the 2015 ACT Landcare People’s Choice Award. Aaron Clausen and his team put in a massive effort to get our new streamlined and slick Koala Count website and app up and running. We've been blown away by their commitment and tireless efforts. We highly recommend NatureMapr as a platform for any other budding citizen science projects out there.
