Think of counting animal populations during migration season, or noting the variety of butterflies in your garden for a week. These are simple ways anyone can contribute valuable information. By pooling data from many people, we can gain unique insights that would otherwise be impossible.
The Green Growth Suriname Foundation has developed two easy-to-use apps on the SPOTTERON platform, inviting residents and visitors of Suriname to help monitor local environments.
- Green Growth Forests App (launched in 2020): Report areas of deforestation and contribute to the fight against illegal logging.
- Green Growth Wildlife App (launched in 2024): Record wildlife sightings, helping us monitor and analyze changes in animal populations over time.
The data collected is available to Surinamese researchers, so each entry directly supports local science! Interested in using the data? Get in touch at
