There’s still time left to enter the 2025 Biodiversity Blitz to take the Cardinia Shire Council to the win.
September is biodiversity month and the Cardinia Shire Council is partnering with other Melbourne councils to see who can record the most species in iNaturalist.
Every photo shared helps scientists and researchers while celebrating the incredible biodiversity in the Cardinia Shire community.
Cardinia Shire currently ranks ninth in the 2025 Biodiversity Blitz with 419 recorded observations as of Saturday 27 September.
Mornington Peninsula Shire lead the way with 5187 observations and 1235 species recorded.
For the month of September, people are encouraged to download the iNaturalist app (or sign up online) where they can snap photos of local plants and animals.
To partake, first sign up at the iNaturalist website: inaturalist.ala.org.au/home.
