ACTIVE PROJECTS

Hide Section
Notes from Nature - Ranges: Mammal Traits from western North America
The information we extract from these images will help scientists to better
understand the remarkable diversity of mammals and how they live their lives.
These data will transform our comprehension of how mammals interact with each
other and the environment.
Notes from Nature - CAS Plants to Pixels
These images hold tons of critical information about California plants — where
they grow, what they look like, when they flower and fruit — and we need your
help unlocking it.
Notes from Nature - Capture the Collections
Open museum collection cabinets wide to the world, online!
Notes from Nature - Big Bee Bonanza!
The images we produce and associated specimen information recorded through this
project will help scientists to describe and better understand the amazing bee
biodiversity found worldwide.
Notes from Nature - Digitizing Biological Collections in Canada
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) maintains collections of living and
preserved biological material. These add up to millions of physical holdings of
insects, plants, fungi, bacteria, and nematodes. With your help transcribing the
labels from our collections, we can bring this biodiversity data online and
available for research and discovery.

LEARN MORE ABOUT NOTES FROM NATURE


MESSAGE FROM THE RESEARCHER

"The data stored in our collection is more than just important biodiversity
information - it's a history of the land we live in, of the people who
researched there, and a love story to the land. Being able to explore these
regions with Citizen Scientists is my favourite part of this collaboration."

NOTES FROM NATURE INTRODUCTION


THE NOTES FROM NATURE PROJECT


COMMUNITY SCIENTISTS, WHY DOES YOUR WORK ON NOTES FROM NATURE MATTER FOR BOTH
SCIENCE AND MUSEUMS GLOBALLY?

Natural history museums across the world share a common goal – to conserve and
make available knowledge about natural and cultural heritage. The Notes from
Nature project gives you the opportunity to make a scientifically important
contribution towards that goal. Every transcription that is completed brings us
closer to filling gaps in our knowledge of global biodiversity and natural
heritage.

The challenge of making natural history data available for the broadest use is
enormous. Today, there are ~10 billion specimens housed in natural history
museums around the world! These biological collections document where species
and populations exist now and where they existed decades and centuries before,
so they hold irreplaceable information necessary for uncovering the patterns of
changes in species distributions and ecosystem composition over time. Scientists
and other stake holders use such data and information in order to address key
environmental issues we are facing right now, such as how biodiversity loss can
impact human well-being, prosperity and health.

While we want to eventually digitize all this information, the best way to do it
is focused on scientific value and outcomes, and we have therefore organized
this effort into “expeditions” that you can join, and in the process meet and
help museum staff and biodiversity scientists working on different parts of this
bigger puzzle. Learn more about the NFN team, and the scientists and curators
providing expeditions here.

Notes From Nature is supported by the National Science Foundation
