Welcome to NatureCounts

NatureCounts is one of the world’s largest biodiversity data repositories. It contains data on distribution and abundance of Canadian species, gathered by a network of volunteers and scientists in dozens of partnership programs. The NatureCounts platform allows users to collect, interpret and access data on wildlife in Canada.

These resources are open to the public, conservation scientists, industry, and policy makers. They are used to study and address environmental challenges such as the biodiversity crisis and climate change.
