Birdability Mapping Project

About This Web Link
The Birdability Map is a crowdsources map that describes in detail the accessibility features of birding locations all over the world. It is a work-in-progress, and anyone can contribute to it by submitting a Birdability Site Review.
Lack of accessibility information should not be a barrier to those who want to get outside. But information on how accessible parks, hiking trails, and birding locations are is frequently incomplete or non-existent, making it difficult for people who experience accessibility challenges to find places to go birding. The purpose of the Birdability Map is to allow people with disabilities and other health concerns access to this information ahead of time, to help them decide if a location is one they would like to visit.
The Birdability Map is an ongoing collaboration between Birdability and National Audubon. Birdability is a brand new nonprofit whose mission is to share the joys of birding with people who have disabilities and other health concerns. Birdability creates the questions that make up the Birdability Site Review, and works in partnership with the National Audubon GIS team on the Birdability Map.

It's been my experience that rarely is disability and accessibility part of the diversity, equity, inclusion and justice (DEIJ) conversation, which I find a little intriguing because disability is a part of all human existence.
