Plants and animals are expected to alter their seasonal life cycle events as a result of climate change impacting temperature, rainfall and fire regimes. They may also start appearing in new areas as climate change enables them to live in environments that were previously unsuitable for them.

As you walk around Gresswell Forest, you might spot some of these ClimateWatch species. Learn about them and our other indicator species at climatewatch.org.au or on our free mobile app, and record your observations of their presence and behaviour.

Through ClimateWatch, you can contribute to our scientific understanding of how nature is responding to climate change.

Become a citizen scientistStreets, parks, backyards andbushland – nature is all around us.We are calling on you to takenotice of what’s happening in yourneighbourhood and record whatyou see.

ClimateWatch was developed byEarthwatch with the Bureau ofMeteorology and the University ofMelbourne in 2009 to understandhow changes in temperature andrainfall are affecting Australia’splants and animals.

There are over 130 species tomonitor across Australia including birds, plants, reptiles, insects, mammals andmarine creatures.

ClimateWatch has engaged over 20,000 people across Australia in recording over 100,000 sightings.

How can ClimateWatch helpscientists?Become a regular ClimateWatcher at home, on the move, or on one of our many ClimateWatch trails in gardens and parks across Australia. Record sightings online, or through thefree ClimateWatch app andhelp scientists shape Australia’s response to climate change.

“Changes in rainfall and temperature across Australia are already triggering changes in the established flowering times, breeding cycles, migrations and distributions of the country’s flora and fauna, both native and introduced. Citizen scientists play a very important role as we do not have enough dedicated scientists to monitor different areas.”
