Take part in citizen science at Jersey Zoo!

Were you inspired by Wild Isles? Do you want to spend more time exploring the native wildlife that lives around you? From 28 April to 1 May 2023, you can help us record species at Jersey Zoo as part of a national biodiversity survey, BIAZA’s Spotted on Site Bioblitz 2023.

Join other zoo staff, volunteers, and visitors across Britain in the search for wildlife as part of BIAZA’s Spotted on Site campaign.

By recording the native plants and animals that you see, you will contribute to data which will help us know what species call the zoo grounds home.

Here’s how to take part:

1. Search for and download the iNaturalist app on your Android or Apple device.

2. Use the app to photograph and record native life (not zoo animals!) you see during your visit. Click here to read more about how to make an observation.

3. Any flora/fauna you log will automatically be added to Jersey Zoo’s project page and help us climb the Spotted on Site Bioblitz 2023 leader board

You will be able to view all of Jersey Zoo’s Spotted on Site Bioblitz 2023 observations on iNaturalist as the weekend progresses.
