Who can use CERNature?

Anyone with a CERN computing account.

Note: It is only usable inside of the CERN sites.

Do I need to install anything?

No. CERNature is a web app — simply open it in your browser or on the cern campus app.

Is there a user guide?

Yes. Open the web app and click on the informations button in the top right corner.

What happens to my data?

Your observations are stored safely inside of the GIS database manged by the SCE GIS team and used solely for the biodiversity monitoring.

Can I delete an observation?

Yes. Simply go to MyOberservations and click on the cross in the oberservation card.

How accurate is the species recognition?

The app provides a list of suggested species with confidence scores. You can choose the best match or leave it as a “likely” identification.

What kind of smartphone do I need to use CERNature?

CERNature works on any modern smartphone—whether you’re using an Apple or Android device. Just open the app in your preferred mobile browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome).

Trouble opening the app via QR code?

Some QR scanner apps open the CERNature link inside their own in-app browser, which may cause issues. If the app doesn’t load correctly, try copying the URL and pasting it directly into your main mobile browser.
