The City Nature Challenge of 2025 is just over a week away! It's a citizien science project, in which you can help researchers understand what biodiversity lives in towns and cities, by documenting what wildlife there is around you.

It will take place April 25-29, and everyone is encouraged to join! All you need is your phone!

Some cities organize events (list of participating cities), but you don't need to join any official event. You can be on your own, with your phone camera - snapping pictures on things that grow on your sidewalk, or that you notice on the way to work.

During April 25-26-27-28, you are encouraged to take pictures of as many species of living things that you can. No need to go anywhere fancy - in fact, researchers are interested in learning what lives around you, in the cities we inhabit. How many species can we find?

You can submit any species, as long as it's wild (plants grown on purpose and pets don't count) - plants, bugs, mammals, birds, algae, fungi, mold, what have you! EXCEPT dogs, cats, and people.

You can submit the images to iNaturalist, a lovely app (& website) that also helps you identify what you saw. If your city doesn't not have a specific event going on, you can join the Global Event on iNaturalist, and submit your photos there.

—;, i use any pronouns (neos are welcome). im abroromantic, demiromantic, aceflux, and gender apathetic

—;, 16yo, expect a ton of cringe. DON'T BE WEIRD. blogs 18 and above can interact but they are not allowed to dm, reply, or send an ask.

—;, contrary to what i said earlier; this blog has the potential to get freaky every now and then (implications in art, reblogs, original posts, etc.) but i will never go as far as reblogging or posting straight up nsfw. just a heads up!!

—;, i have an interest for art, writing/poetry, music & singing, sad & immersive series/movies/novels, musicals & stageplays, astronomy, and floriography

—;, askbox open!! you can ask me questions, request small doodles, and share hcs about my bolded fandoms! however i kindly ask you to not be weird and dont ask anything uncomfortable/invasive of my or other's privacy.

—;, posting depends on whatever my ADHD tells me to do. it's a hit or miss kinda thing

wanna support me? 𖤓

—;, please reblog my art!! it helps me a lot even in the smallest ways ^_^💕 every little reblog gives me motivation to create more!!

—;, i have discord nitro and robux commissions open!! it's not a necessity but it would mean a lot if you commission me :3c (minor note; about robux comms please contact me on discord under yourstrulyray for more information! haven't gotten around to editing my pages yet ^^")
