TurtleSAT vs I Spy Koala

TurtleSAT - Turtle Surveying and Analysis Tools - is a new app where communities are mapping the location of freshwater turtles in waterways and wetlands across the country. Australia's unique freshwater turtles are in crisis - their numbers are declining and your help is needed to record where you see turtles in your local area. If you see a freshwater turtle (or a turtle nest) near your local creek, farm dam or on the road, enter the location of your sighting in this app. Your sightings will help land managers to track the movement and behaviour of turtles, to protect them and their offspring in your local area. Record where you see freshwater turtles or their nests in your local area - Start mapping now! You can Register and login, or simply record your email address when entering sightings. Please ensure that you have the latest version of Firefox as your default browser- to ensure geolocation services accurately pinpoint your location.

I Spy Koala app is for the collection of koala observation and survey data for all koalas. For sick or injured koalas needing immediate care, also contact your local wildlife rehabilitation organisation. This app was developed in 2019 by the then NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) to improve the flow of koala observation data to NSW planning and decision tools. All submitted records will be combined with other koala observations and made available in BioNet, the repository for NSW biodiversity data. Records are searchable through BioNet and associated data services, including the SEED data portal where you can conveniently view the data using the interactive Koala Sightings - BioNet map. This data is accessible to researchers, land managers, planners, consultants, government and the public, and assists the implementation of long-term conservation strategies to secure healthy koala populations in the wild.
