Discover nature in your neighboorhoud

Our Naturblick smartphone app gives you digital access to nature in the city. Thanks to a range of features, you can identify plants and animals even without prior knowledge and gain a better understanding of their urban habitats. Automatic image and sound recognition helps you identify species in your everyday life. You can also explore the diversity of nature with identification guides for trees, birds, herbs, wildflowers, amphibians, mammals, butterflies, reptiles, bees, wasps and other species. Take photos of plants and identify them using our automatic image recognition. Record bird songs and use automatic sound recognition to identify which bird is singing.
The app thrives on user participation and feedback, and is constantly being improved in terms of both technology and content. We welcome reports of bugs or suggestions for improvement. Please feel free to email us at naturblick@mfn.berlin
As part of an interdisciplinary team, we develop and research digital tools that make it easier to experience nature in urban areas. Among other things, we are testing the use of pattern recognition for species identification. Our smartphone app, Naturblick, offers various features to help you discover nature in the city and document your own observations. In addition, the Naturblick website allows you to access species profiles even without a smartphone.
We welcome value-adding collaboration with related projects and organisations and are always open to new partnerships. One example is the Nightingale Research Project, which investigated the nightingale’s settlement patterns, song patterns and cultural history. If you are interested in collaborating, please write to naturblick@mfn.berlin
