Our ultimate vision is that millions of Smartphone users will use CyberTracker to capture observations on a daily basis. Data streaming into the Internet will make it possible to monitor the entire global ecosystem in real time. The Environment is a
dynamic and ever-changing network of systems that work and interact
together in ways that we are only just beginning to understand.
NaturalWorld is aimed at providing and analysing environmental data that
can help to show a better overall understanding of our World.

The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History was founded on the concept of the
Citizen Scientist – individuals that don’t necessarily have formal
scientific training but are in touch with their natural surroundings.
Often they contribute to the body of scientific knowledge through
research-related tasks such as observation, measurement, or computation.
