Identify any living thing — anywhere

Rastrum exists to make every living thing identifiable by anyone, anywhere — even without cell signal, even without formal training, even in the languages that field guides forgot.

How It Works

Observe

Capture photos, audio, or video of any species in the field — online or offline.

Identify

Our AI pipeline analyzes your evidence using PlantNet, BirdNET, and Claude Vision with regional accuracy.

Contribute

Validated observations join a growing open dataset exported to GBIF and CONABIO for real conservation.

Why Rastrum

Offline-First

Works without cell signal. Regional ML models cached on-device via ONNX + WebAssembly.

Multi-Modal ID

Photo, audio, video, and ecological evidence — tracks, scat, burrows — all in one platform.

Indigenous Languages

Zapoteco, Mixteco, Náhuatl, Maya, Tsotsil/Tseltal. Built with CARE principles and community consent.

LATAM-Focused

Trained on megadiverse Neotropical data, not just North American and European species.

Open Source

AGPL-3.0 server, Apache 2.0 SDKs. Every observation strengthens the commons.

Conservation Pipeline

Direct exports to GBIF, CONABIO, CONANP, and regional herbaria across Latin America.
