Scientists & Experts

Researchers, conservation organizations, or other people interested in downloading iNaturalist data can use the export tool. All our licensed, research-grade observations are also indexed by GBIF, where you can search and download them using their tools.

Scientists and taxonomic experts can provide enormous value to the iNaturalist community by helping to identify observations. Try checking the Identify section, searching for observations without identifications, or searching for observations that still need to get down to species. The search filters allow a bunch of different ways to find exactly what you're interested in, so play around!
