Features & Capabilities

ObsIdentify is a powerful Chrome extension designed for nature enthusiasts who want to recognize wild species quickly and effortlessly. Simply snap a photo of wildlife in Europe or the Dutch Caribbean, and ObsIdentify will help you identify the species instantly. The extension supports the recognition of wild animals, plants, and mushrooms, avoiding pets, people, or garden plants.

Users can collect and share their wildlife observations, create groups with family or colleagues, earn badges, and participate in exciting challenges. Every observation contributes to biological research, powered by millions of sightings from platforms like Waarneming.nl, Waarnemingen.be, and Observation.org. Developed by the Observation International Foundation in partnership with Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Natuurpunt, ObsIdentify fosters community engagement in biodiversity knowledge and conservation.

not always perfect but 99%0f the time it is and lots of very useful information

Such a cool app. Now I can actually see what bug it is instead of staring at it and just wondering what it is. And you're telling me I'm able to help a good cause along with it? This is amazing! However, it would be even better if you were able to make multiple pictures before having to identify an organism. Not all animals stay in one place for a long time, so having to load extra menus before you're able to make another picture can be annoying at times.
