Report Wildlife Sightings in NJ With New App

The NJ Wildlife Tracker can be used to report rare wildlife species sightings and observations of wildlife (of any kind) on roadways.  

The rare species sightings help keep New Jersey’s Natural Heritage/Biotics inventory robust and current. These data contribute to critical habitat mapping and help monitor habitat occupancy and population trends over time. Ultimately, this helps manage the recovery of rare wildlife species across the state. 

Observations of wildlife on roadways inform our Connecting Habitat Across New Jersey (CHANJ) project, which aims to make our landscape easier for wildlife to move through.
