## Description

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.
