The WOW app, developed by TERN in collaboration with orchid enthusiasts, has been designed for researchers and the public alike.
The app feeds orchid photos, data and habitat information to the highly successful online citizen science platform iNaturalist for community identification and interpretation.
You can install the WOW app on your mobile device simply by typing into your internet browser: app.wildorchidwatch.org and following the prompts.
Data collected via the WOW app are made publicly accessible for research, policy and planning purposes, and will ultimately help to resolve conservation and taxonomic questions about Australian orchids. This information will have far-reaching applications at a national level, well beyond the orchid family.
