Draw an area

A valley, a reef, a survey plot, a proposed road: put down the corners and get every species the Museum has collected inside it — with the specimens behind each name, a link to share, and a CSV to keep.

  1. 1

    Zoom to the place. Click to put down each corner; the shape closes itself.

  2. 2

    Undo a corner, or clear and start again. Three corners make a shape; up to three hundred are fine.

  3. 3

    List the species. The page you land on has its own address, so it can be sent, cited and come back to.

Counts come from the georeferenced records only; specimens placed by island name alone are not inside any shape. Localities of endangered species are generalised to about ten kilometres, so a small shape may miss or catch them by that much.
