People have been recording their observations of wildlife for hundreds of years, and the technology and support networks available today make this easier than ever.
By providing information on when and where you find a particular species, you can make a valuable contribution to national distribution datasets collated by volunteer-led schemes and societies. This information can help to inform conservation science and help protect our wildlife.
