FNAI maintains and continues to build Florida's natural heritage database. Although FNAI staff collect much of the rare species Element Occurrence data, outside data submissions are also an important component. You can submit data using our field report forms below or by contacting us.

For more information on the database see our Tracking List page.

Preferred:

• Online Rare Species Report Form for ALL Species
• Add your iNaturalist observations to the FNAI Tracked Species project so our scientists can access the unobscured coordinates

Legacy forms for print or e-mail submission:

• PDF Field form for print or electronic
• Word Rare Species Field Form for download
• Original Word Animal Field Form for download

Important: if you have multiple occurrences to report, FNAI can accept data in GIS shapefiles or spreadsheets. Please contact FNAI to submit bulk data.
