A donation to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (one of the founders of Missing Maps) can help support local people to map their own communities, develop tools and processes so that more people can contribute, and scale this work so that even more responders and humanitarian organisations around the world have maps and open data that enable them to make time-critical, data-driven decisions.

It's part of a research project at the London School of Economics

We'd love to have you on board!

how does it work?

You get mappiness from the App Store, open it, and sign up

We beep you once (or more) a day to ask how you're feeling, and a few basic things to control for: who you're with, where you are, what you're doing (if you're outdoors, you can also take a photo)

The data gets sent back - anonymously and securely - to our data store, along with your approximate location from the iPhone's GPS, and a noise-level measure

what's in it for you?

Interesting information about your own happiness, which you can download or see charted inside the app - including when, where and with whom you're happiest

The warm glow of helping increase the sum of human knowledge

what's in it for us?

We're particularly interested in how people's happiness is affected by their local environment - air pollution, noise, green spaces, and so on - which the data from mappiness will be absolutely great for investigating

We'll be publishing the results in academic journals and elsewhere - starting with this paper in Global Environmental Change.

Send Kids the World features kids with life threatening illnesses and injuries and enables you to reach out to them and send them encouraging postcards from all around the world.

For the past ten years, you all have spread comfort and joy to children going through difficult times due to illness. The children have greatly appreciated the postcards and we thank you for the time, effort, and love you have put into helping these families. We need to do a complete overhaul of the web-site, because under the current hosting facility this web-site can no longer run as it is.

We hope you have appreciated the postcards and warm wishes from people all over the world. Every week, dozens of postcards were sent out. We thank you very much for the many feedbacks that you have given us.

We hope that we can provide the necessary resources and investements to have this web-site and service up and running again soon.

We would like to reach out to every child and their family who deal with a serious illness. We would like to connect all of them with good-hearted people, who can send them occasional postcards to brighten up their daily lives. Please join us and be part of it!

We got great feedback from parents, kids and postcard senders. Read more about their comments.

Help us to study the amazing array of colour across all living bird species and how such diversity evolved, by marking up photos of birds from the Museum's collections.

Why we are doing the project

With approximately 10,000 living species, birds have evolved an extraordinary array of plumage (feather) colours. Beyond the colour we can see, we also know that the plumage of many bird species reflects light in the ultraviolet (UV) range. As birds themselves can see UV light, this has a big impact on our understanding of how birds see each other.

We want to both measure and better understand how this colour diversity has come to be.

Our team is photographing Museum specimens using special colour and UV filters. With your help we will be able to extract the colour information needed to answer key questions about bird colour evolution.

How to take part

1. Visit Project Plumage on the Zooniverse.org website

2. (Optional) Register as a member of Zooniverse to track your efforts

3. Follow the instructions to tag patches of colour on specimen photographs

Started in 2016 as a competition between Los Angeles and San Francisco, the City Nature Challenge (CNC) has grown into an international event, motivating people around the world to find and document wildlife in their own cities. Run by the Community Science teams at the California Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM), the CNC is an annual four-day global bioblitz at the end of April, where cities are in a collaboration-meets-friendly-competition to see what can be accomplished when we all work toward a common goal.
