Yet it contributes less than 9% of the 250 million+ verifiable observations on iNaturalist. The Asia Nature Challenge (ANC) is a citizen science movement that aims to change this. When people across the region pause to notice and share the wild life around them, we help tell a more complete story of Asia\u2019s nature. And in doing so, we create small moments of connection, curiosity, and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\" class=\"\">The Asia Nature Challenge is a 10-day event with two simple phases, and everyone is welcome to join! From <strong>October 3 to 6<\/strong>, head outdoors and take a closer look at the nature around you. Photograph or record the sounds of any wild plants, animals, fungi, or other living things you find, and upload your observations to iNaturalist. From <strong>October 7 to 12<\/strong>, help identify what others have shared. You can also finish uploading anything you recorded during the observation days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-1172a4ba\">\n<div class=\"reverse-cutout-text wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-e8c4cfa2 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-ifb-title-prefix\">Observation<\/h3><p class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Oct 3 &#8211; 6<\/p><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Snap photos or make<br>sound recordings of wildlife. <br>Upload them on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/projects\/asia-nature-challenge-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iNaturalist<\/a>!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"reverse-cutout-text wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-b0f6ac88 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-ifb-title-prefix\">Identification<\/h3><p class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Oct 7 &#8211; 12<\/p><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Finish uploading observations.<br>Identify them with experts <br>and fellow citizen scientists.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\" class=\"\">Whether you&#8217;re an individual, a school, a local group, or an environmental organisation, the Asia Nature Challenge invites you to explore, observe, and share the nature around you.
