Getting Started with Biome

What is Biome?

Biome is a "biodiversity collection app" developed and operated by Biome Inc. Simply take a photo of any living creature you find, and our unique AI will identify its species by analyzing the photo along with the time and location. You can then collect and manage your discoveries right within the app.

The Story Behind Biome

Biome Inc. was founded with the vision of "making biodiversity conservation a natural part of society." To protect biodiversity, it is essential to understand "when, where, and how many of which species" are living in our environment.

To achieve this, we aim to build a massive biological information platform through the collective efforts of people worldwide using their smartphones. At the same time, we strive to create an app that allows everyone—whether you love nature or are just starting to get curious—to experience the unique charm and individuality of living things.

  • Contribution to Science: The data you post is utilized for environmental conservation efforts.

  • Location Information: To accurately track species distribution, location data is required for all posts. You can set your location to "private" when posting. (Note: For protection purposes, location data for endangered or rare species is automatically hidden.)
