Get involved with ClimateWatch now
ClimateWatch is a climate change monitoring program that allows every Australian to be involved in collecting and recording data that will help shape the country's scientific response to climate change.
Climate change is affecting rainfall and temperature across Australia. As a consequence, flowering times, breeding cycles and migration movements are also changing. Scientists have very little data available to understand the impacts of this.
To get started register here and then search for plants and animals in your area. There are FAQ's and descriptions of Habitat to help you complete your observations. Look for the Field Guides designed to take with you. They are found on each plant or animal. Look for the "Observations To Make" listed under "When" on each species page.
