The site, in 2004

A worldwide platform where naturalists and citizen scientists record, check and share sightings of wildlife.

By 2026 it held over 314 million observations of 145,595 species, with 138 million photos from 584,000 users. It grew out of the Dutch site Waarneming.nl, begun in 2003, and a non-profit, Observation International, hosts it.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
