Project Update 6: 2000+ members have joined the project, with over 7,000 observations made. It’s been over two and a half years since the last journal post, my apologies for the lack of updates. The project has been progressing well, thanks to recent mentions in iNat blog posts. Remember, observations must be the first photograph of that species on iNat, not just online elsewhere. This rule is important to maintain the integrity of the project. The surge in project members is attributed to regular features like observation of the week.
