Occurd. - A spatial GBIF data extraction tool
This tool allows you to extract biodiversity occurrence data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) directly from your browser. Upload a KML polygon defining your study area, set a date range and taxon group, and the app queries GBIF's occurrence database and returns georeferenced records. Results can be filtered by taxonomic group and viewed as clustered points or a heatmap on an interactive map. Export your results as a CSV for further analysis or as a GeoJSON file for use in QGIS. A species checklist is generated automatically and can be exported separately.
"but is it threatened?" is a free browser-based tool for looking up the conservation status of any New Zealand organism. Search by any name — scientific, common, Māori, synonym, or old combination — and instantly see the NZ Threat Classification System (NZTCS) status, whether the species is on the National Pest Plant Accord, and its origin (native, endemic, or exotic). For larger projects, the batch lookup tab lets you drag and drop a species list and download the results as a CSV with status, common name, and Māori name filled in automatically.
A free bird photo identification quiz — pick a region and see if you can get 10 correct in a row. Each question shows a real photo from iNaturalist and asks you to identify the species from four options. Miss one and the streak resets, but tricky birds keep coming back until you nail them.
Currently includes a curated quiz for Samoa (88 species, with Samoan names and field notes), plus a dynamic mode that generates a quiz for any place on Earth — just type a location and go.
