Primary decision
Where is ecological activity behaving unusually enough to investigate now?
Spot unusual ecological activity early with transparent, explorable evidence.
Treat the map as a live anomaly surface. Use it to identify unusual concentrations, then pivot into individual observations, species clusters, and locality evidence before making external claims.

The 0–10 activity indicator reflects how unusual recent observations are versus seasonal baseline and typical range.
Interpretation:
Indicators are directional, not proof. Review local conditions, observer notes, and licensing/attribution.
Help naturalists and city planners notice meaningful biodiversity changes sooner, using real observations and explainable indicators. The focus: timely signals, clear provenance, and an accessible map that works well on everyday devices.
