Getting started NaturaList
NaturaLlist is a worldwide compatible mobile application that allows browsing and sharing your biodiversity observations in a casual way like a field notebook, by list or with more advanced tools for protocolled collection of data.
Several languages are available. See a list of all available languages at wiki section Various > Available languages).
Most functions are available for both Android and Mac. Some advanced tools, like protocols, are currently only available on Android. The application NaturaList is linked to data.biolovision.net and the existing ornitho portals (see image Dataflow between our tools. Those portals give you full possibilities for using, backup and share your data after synchronization. See what you can do in each of the “tools” at the table below. To see the list of local portals, visit wiki section Various > Local portals and partners.
