NaturaList vs CyberTracker

NaturaList allows you to record your sightings easily and for free, directly in the field or later on. You can include all details you would record in your notebook – for your personal archives but also to contribute to nature conservation and science. No more time wasted copying your data once you get home, no observations forgotten, no uncertain locations: your sightings are located precisely thanks to maps and GPS. NaturaList is also easy to use with only one hand. Your data are securely stored in the portal https://data.biolovision.net, where you will always have access to your own data, and are then shared with a steadily increasing number of partner databases operated by nature conservation organizations around the world ( (e.g. https://www.ornitho.ch, https://www.ornitho.it, https://www.ornitho.de, https://www.faune-france.org, https://www.ornitho.at, https://www.ornitho.cat, https://www.fauna.hr, https://www.ornitho.pl, https://www.orchisauvage.fr, https://www.ornitho.eus, https://www.faune-guyane.org.

CyberTracker is software from a South African non-profit company, CyberTracker Conservation, that develops handheld data capture solutions. The software was first developed as a way to allow illiterate animal trackers to communicate their environmental observations. A prototype was used in 2002 to record details of animals killed in an outbreak of ebola. It has since evolved to become a general purpose data capture and visualization system. However, it retains the ability to be used by illiterate and low-literate users. CyberTracker's primary user base is wildlife biologists, conservationists and disaster relief workers.
