A wildlife reporting, mapping, and alert platform designed specifically for nature organizations.
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.
Each Live Nature Maps deployment is funded by a local organization such as a bird club, naturalist group, conservation authority, municipality, park, or other nature-focused organization. The sponsoring organization customizes the platform with its own branding, reporting area, species lists, and notification rules. Reporting area can be a county, conservation area, club area, or other geographic region.
Once launched, the reporting map is available to everyone visiting the region—not just members of the sponsoring organization. Birders, photographers, hikers, and other nature enthusiasts can all submit sightings, view reports, and receive alerts, helping build a richer picture of local wildlife activity.
Every new report benefits the entire community by providing:
The sponsoring organization provides the platform, while the entire community helps make it successful.
From report to alert in seconds.
Users quickly submit wildlife observations from any device, right from the location of the sighting.
App auto captures GPS location, and sends it with species full name to the map.
Reports instantly appear on the live community map.
Browser notifications and Discord alerts are sent automatically with exact time and coordinates.
Live Nature Maps is designed to complement platforms like eBird and iNaturalist, not replace them.
The first Live Nature Maps deployment, serving birders across Essex County with real-time sighting reports, interactive mapping, browser notifications, Discord alerts, and community reporting tools.
