Trusted by Wildlife & Ecology Professionals

See what biologists and ecologists are saying about FieldTap.

“FieldTap transformed our bird point count surveys. The voice transcription lets me dictate species while keeping my binoculars up, and the offline mode is flawless in backcountry wilderness areas.”

Dr. Rachel K.

Senior Wildlife Biologist, Cascade Ecological Services

“We manage ESA-listed species surveys across three states. FieldTap's compliance exports save us days of reformatting data for Biological Assessments, and the sensitive species location controls give our clients confidence.”

Tom W.

Ecology Program Manager, Meridian Environmental Group

“I switched from iNaturalist Pro and Survey123 for professional work. FieldTap gives me the species ID tools I love plus the regulatory-quality data exports my clients require. The price difference is a bonus.”

Elena S.

Field Ecologist, Ridgeline Wildlife Consulting

Built for Sensitive Wildlife Data Security

Endangered species location protection, sensitive habitat data controls, ESA compliance audit trails, and NEPA documentation standards are not add-ons -they are the architecture.

Endangered Species Location Protection

GPS coordinates for ESA-listed and sensitive species are access-restricted by default -never publicly accessible. Compliant with ESA Section 7 data handling and state natural heritage program requirements.

Sensitive Habitat Data Controls

Multi-level sensitivity classification with database-enforced access controls. Critical habitat locations and nesting sites are restricted to authorized biologists only.

Immutable Audit Trail

Append-only audit logs that cannot be modified or deleted. Full chain-of-custody documentation for ESA compliance, NEPA review, and agency permit reporting.

Encrypted & Hardened

AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, signed URLs for photos, HSTS, and row-level security on every database table.
