"Indian cities have more biodiversity than we realise. With the iNaturalist app, just about anyone can record an observation and learn more about what they have seen."

-- Ms. Suchi Govindarajan, Communications Head of The Naturalist School

"

City Nature Challenge has possibilities to become an effective and robust data-gathering tool for researchers to carry out long-term studies over large geographical areas especially focusing on urban areas. But even more than that, it is an exercise for citizens to use Nature in helping to reduce stress, calm anxiety and slow our breath, heart and pace of life in today's concrete jungles.


-- Mr. Sohail Madan, Assistant Director, Bombay Natural History Society.

"

There is a lot of interest being shown by individuals, partner NGOs, schools and colleges, and corporate groups to associate with this event. This is the first time that a citizen science event is being organised on a large scale for Hyderabad and we are hoping that this Challenge is going to set the ball rolling for more such initiatives in the city.”  

-- Ms. Farida Tampal, State Director, WWF-India Hyderabad Office
