## What is FaunaMap?

With the FaunaMap app, easily record all the birds and mammals you encounter while birdwatching or exploring nature. FaunaMap also lets you view recent bird sightings from other users in your area. Whether you’re tracking species in different locations or countries, this birding app helps you maintain a personalized species list.

FaunaMap stands out as a birdwatching app by integrating social features. You can upload bird photos and get help from an active birdwatching community for species identification. The app includes fun game elements like levels, birdwatching badges, and rankings, allowing you to compete with fellow birdwatchers. For beginners, FaunaMap offers a built-in bird identification quiz that increases in difficulty, with options for various countries, helping you prepare for your next birding trip.

Looking for the best birdwatching hotspots? FaunaMap includes a global bird map that displays biodiversity hotspots per 5x5km grid, helping you find areas rich in bird activity. FaunaMap is a new app, and its creators welcome feedback, ideas, and tips from the birding community.

Although apps like Ebird, iNaturalist, Merlin, Birda, Waarneming.nl, and ObsMapp offer similar bird observation tracking features, FaunaMap focuses on a modern, user-friendly interface, detailed map overviews of rare bird sightings, combined with an active birdwatching network. It also contributes to scientific research by sharing your observations with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

Download the FaunaMap birdwatching app today and start tracking your sightings! Connect with fellow birdwatchers and contribute to mapping life on Earth.
