Over the last 50 years, 56% of our species have declined, while 15% are at risk of disappearing from our shores altogether. With your help we can reverse this decline. Together we can bring nature back from the brink, but to do that effectively we need as much information as possible about our wildlife.

Taking part in a citizen survey and recording your sightings helps identify the state of nature across the UK

 

Information collected by thousands of ordinary people helps us understand where animals are found and how they behave. Over time, we can use this information to learn about daily, seasonal and yearly changes in species, the habitats that species use and favour, and how we can improve the chances of survival for our wildlife. 

Get involved!
