The results are in!
The City Nature Challenge (CNC) 2024 results are in! A big thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 CNC. This was our best year ever for species (2429) and participants (1036) and second best for observations (20637)! With all 691 cities across the world now done, Philly finished 23rd in observations, 27th in species, and 15th in observers.
Worldwide, La Paz, Bolivia came first in all three categories with a whopping 165k observations, 5352 species, and 3593 participants. In the US, San Antonio was first in observations (65k), Houston in species (4113), and San Francisco in participants (2552). The only city north of us that had more species than us was Innsbruck, Austria with 4448 species!
Locally, out of our 2429 species, 1287 species were plants, 474 insects, 250 fungi, 170 birds, 78 arachnids, 24 mammals, 22 reptiles, and 16 amphibians.
As is tradition, @srall topped the observations chart again this year with 1681 observations. Sara is also number one in species with 517 species which is our best individual species total breaking last year's record. This is made all the more impressive by the fact that Sara splits her time between the NYC and Philly CNCs and is usually in the top 5 in both cities!
@conboy had the second most species with 492 and @jameshoughton had the second most observations with 776.
Shoutouts also to @rust_bucket and @seahound for rounding out our top 6 for both observations and species. And a huge thank you to @annebekker for making 1800 identifications for us, @maryah with 1611, and @conboy with 645.
Well done to everyone else who contributed observations and IDs too! If you're curious about any other info, let me know and I'm happy to slice and dice the data. Also, let me know what your favorite observations were this CNC - yours or someone else's, any other highlights, tips on how to do even better next year, anything!
A big thank you once again to everyone who participated and helped spread the word. We couldn't do this without you. Mark your calendars for next year's CNC: April 25-28, 2025

Great job everyone! So glad we passed the 1000 observer milestone this year. Great to hear it was a record year for species, too. Hop everyone had some fun! 🌳🌻
@conboy I am so thrilled we crossed 1000 observers. We bettered our 2021 high count of 966 by 70 people. Next year's goals would be to stay over 1k and also get 2500 species.
Sounds very doable - already looking forward to it!
