Atlasing in Namibia is a public-participation Citizen Science project and biodiversity data repository

Building on earlier atlasing projects, it collects species data from public contributions—such as sightings, photos, road kills, spoor, camera traps, and telemetry. By combining these diverse records, the project enables valuable comparisons across time, space, and species. There is also a cultural heritage component. Read more here.
