Nature has blind spots.
Let's go find them.
WildGap turns uneven biodiversity records into clear, safe field missions for school eco-clubs and citizen scientists.

The problem
“Data is often collected where resources are available, not necessarily where biodiversity threats are greatest.”
UNEP Nature Action Note ↗From gap to action
One question.
One useful next step.
WildGap never says fewer records mean fewer animals. It asks a narrower, defensible question: where would another observation improve coverage most?
Read the gaps
Compare recent GBIF observation coverage with the three-year baseline across H3 cells.
Choose a window
Use weather conditions and historical climate context to plan a comfortable outing.
Go observe
Take a printable mission card, survey safely and link evidence when you return.
Transparent by construction
A score you can challenge.
Every ranked cell exposes the same three ingredients. Climate data helps choose when to survey; it never changes the biodiversity gap score.
Survey priority55% D + 30% C + 15% T
- D · Density gap 55%
- How sparse recent coordinate-valid records are per square kilometre compared with nearby cells.
- C · Coverage change 30%
- Whether recent coverage is lower than the annualized observation baseline—not whether wildlife declined.
- T · Target gap 15%
- Whether plants, fungi, birds or insects appeared nearby or historically but are under-observed recently.

Useful globally.
The timestamped Winnipeg snapshot makes the full product flow reviewable during third-party outages. This submission claims deployed software and technical verification—not a completed Winnipeg outing or independent human study.

Below the evidence floor, WildGap suppresses the leaderboard.
population claims
A coverage gap is a reason to look—not evidence of ecological decline.
Judge the evidence, not the ambition. Planned surveys never count as completed visits, and evidence links remain optional but visible.
