The best living organism identification service! Compared to commercial analogues, this service uses the identification data for scientific research and there are many experts who are helping to validate identifications made by an AI or to identify organisms themselves in case the AI failed. So not only the usage of the service is very important for scientific research, but its results are being validated by human experts.
