Diario del proyecto ACF General NatureNearYou Challenge

We’re looking forward to seeing you on our webinar today: the birds and bees of nature photography.

With bird photographer Jan Wegener and ACF Multimedia Designer and citizen science enthusiast Tom Kinsman, we’ll talk about how to capture stunning photos of the birds and insects that visit our back gardens (plus how to attract them in the first place!).

There’s still time to join ACF’s free nature photography webinar at 6pm AEST!

It's the last weekend of the #NatureNearYou Challenge. To help keep you inspired here’s some mini challenges to get you outside and exploring all the weird & wonderful #NatureNearYou this weekend.

Can you discover all the things that:

• are food - how many predator and prey species can you find?
• can fly
• creep & crawl
• come out at night
• are brightly colored or furry
• live under rocks or in the soil

We’ve loved seeing all the awesome pics you’ve posted so far. We can't wait to see what you else you find!

Taking part in the #NatureNearYou challenge is an important way to help scientists and policy-makers better understand Australia’s biodiversity – and ultimately help solve the extinction crisis. Speaking out for strong new laws that actually protect nature is a great way too.

Stand with hundreds of thousands of people across this amazing country who are also calling for stronger laws to protect our living world. Add your name to the petition here - www.acf.org.au/inatpetition

Together, we recorded over 26,000 observations of Australian plants and animals. An incredible result!
To celebrate the end of the #NatureNearYou Challenge, we’ve made a video to showcase the results – plus some of your amazing sightings.

Watch the video now & fill out our quick survey to let us know how you found the challenge. Visit - www.acf.org.au/survey_inaturalist

Your feedback will help us improve activities like this in the future, so we can keep building a huge movement of nature lovers while protecting Australia’s amazing biodiversity.
