Join the global effort to understand and protect wild orchid populations through citizen science photography
Through systematic documentation of wild orchid populations, we're building the world's most comprehensive database of orchid genetic diversity and selection pressures in natural habitats. Your photographs become powerful tools for conservation science.
Advanced computer vision extracts detailed trait data from your orchid photographs, identifying species, measuring characteristics, and assessing genetic variations.
Direct integration with EOL's TraitBank database (11+ million trait records) validates observations and contributes to global biodiversity knowledge.
Population genetics analysis identifies selection pressures, genetic diversity patterns, and conservation priorities for endangered orchid populations.
