About Nature this week
Nature This Week is a web publication that lists nature events near a location the user selects, so readers can see what wildlife activity is expected around them. Users pick a place, then narrow results with filters for animal groups and view events tied to the current week, time of day and weather conditions.
The site states that species distributions, timing data and photos come from iNaturalist and Wikipedia, with descriptions adapted from Wikipedia, and that weather conditions come from Open-Meteo. It reports 12,652 catalogued events covering 3,012 species, including 1,533 mammals, 812 birds and 524 insects. Coverage depends on those third-party sources, and the site offers a way for visitors to support it.
