The City Nature Challenge is an annual four-day global event where cities across the world compete to see which city can gather the greatest number of wildlife observations, find the most species and engage the most people at the event. EcoSpark is once again proud to be the regional organizer for the city of Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.

Last year, Toronto and GTA took part in the challenge and recorded a whopping 5,060 observations, 825 species and 547 observers, putting us in the top spot for the most observers in Canada, and fifth spot for the most species observed and most observations recorded in Canada.

Worldwide, over 1.6 million wildlife observations were made, making City Nature Challenge 2022, the biggest one yet!

Help us surpass that number this year by getting to 8000 observations, 900 species and 1000 observers and put Toronto and GTA on the map to win the title of the wildest city in Canada!
