City Nature Challenge: the results are in!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped organise, participated in, and identified observations from the 6th annual City Nature Challenge! Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we had over 10,000 more people participate compared to last year, and for the first time ever, we made over one million observations in the four days of the challenge!

Here are the collective results:
Observations: 1,270,767
Species: 45,300+, including more than 2,100 rare/endangered/threatened species
Observers: 52,777
Most-observed species globally: Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)

Here in Auckland, our results were:
1,805 observations
697 species
215 observers
Our most observed species was Kawakawa (Piper excelsum)

What an amazing community of nature-appreciating folks we have! An enormous THANK YOU to all of you! And a special shout-out to our top observers: @chantoya @greg_holwell @sdjbrown @nic_charlton @max560
