iNaturalist will be offline for about 1.5 hours beginning at 9 pm Pacific Daylight Time on Wednesday, September 16 (4am UTC/Sept 17) . Click here to see this translated into your time zone. During this time, you will not be able to post observations from the mobile apps or interact with the website or API in any way. The iNatForum will still be active.

Every few months or so, we need to temporarily take iNaturalist offline in order to update the infrastructure to better accommodate the growing community. We acknowledge this may be an inconvenience, so we want to warn you so you can make other plans during that time. Thank you for your patience!
