Environmental monitoring is increasingly shifting toward a set of systems that describe changes in real time. In ecology specifically, a series of challenges have prevented the rollout of real‐time monitoring for features such as biodiversity change or ecosystem service provision. Conservation culturomics, a field concerned with interactions between people and nature, is well placed to demonstrate how monitoring might move toward a network of real‐time platforms, given its existence exclusively in the digital realm. We examined a set of considerations associated with the development of real‐time monitoring platforms for conservation culturomics and introduce a near real‐time platform for the Species Awareness Index, a global index of changing biodiversity awareness derived from the rate of change in page views for species on Wikipedia. This platform will update automatically each month, operating in near real time (https://joemillard.shinyapps.io/Real_time_SAI/). There are plans to make the underlying data queryable via an application programing interface independent of the platform. The real‐time Species Awareness Index will represent the first real‐time and entirely automated conservation culturomic platform and one of the first real‐time platforms in the discipline of ecology. Real‐time monitoring for culturomics can provide insight into human–nature interactions as they play out in the physical realm and provide a framework for the development of real‐time monitoring in ecology. Real‐time monitoring metrics can be processed on private virtual machines and hosted on publicly available cloud services. Conservation now needs an online, real‐time observatory that can evolve with the structure of the web.
