SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The NPS is in the process of developing a partnership with the 
California Academy of Sciences to use its iNaturalist web-based and 
mobile applications to digitally record natural history observations 
during selected NPS parks and sponsored events. This information will 
be recorded by park visitor participants to help verify and 
substantiate the presence of wildlife and plant species in over 300 NPS 
units. Because the parks have no formal mechanism for visitors to 
contribute natural history observations to our current listings, we are 
requesting to use iNaturalist as a platform to submit observations that 
can be used by NPS.
