CSV and API sources
The project is designed to work with iNaturalist CSV exports and direct searches through the public iNaturalist API.
Early-stage project
iNat DashBoard
A visual dashboard project for turning iNaturalist records into clear, organized and comparative biodiversity analysis.
What the project does
iNat DashBoard is being developed to transform iNaturalist records into visual, organized and easy-to-understand analysis. The goal is to help naturalists, researchers, wildlife observers, NGOs, schools, environmental projects and institutions interpret public biodiversity data more clearly.
Compare up to four animals
Select up to four species and compare their records side by side, including activity, months, years and observer contribution.
Activity and seasonality
Analyze records by time, month, weekday, day and night activity, accumulated records and year-by-month patterns.
Observers and data quality
Review observer rankings, observer concentration, data completeness, iNaturalist quality grades and sampling effort by year.
Important interpretation
The Dashboard is not designed to measure the real abundance of animals in nature. It shows patterns found in available records, so charts should be interpreted as record analysis and observation effort, not as population counts.
Current status: embryonic stage
The project is still in an early, embryonic phase, but it already shows the direction of what is being developed: a visual way to cross-reference iNaturalist records, compare species and generate useful summaries for reports, presentations, environmental education and institutional communication.
Planned outputs
The project is planned to support filtered CSV, technical JSON, interpretive TXT summaries, PNG charts and a complete A4-style HTML report.
