About Live Nature Maps

A wildlife reporting, mapping, and alert platform designed specifically for nature organizations.

What Is Live Nature Maps?

Live Nature Maps allows organizations to collect wildlife observations from members, display reports on interactive maps, and distribute alerts when significant sightings occur.

The platform is currently deployed through Essex Birds and is designed to be adapted for birding clubs, naturalist organizations, butterfly groups, dragonfly projects, and conservation initiatives.
