We are done observing

We are done observing - the 2021 Great Southern Bioblitz is finished.

Now we have just over a week to upload our observations and identify them.

So any summaries are provisional, but I think we can agree that overall we have done very well, and several areas have done outstandingly.

• We have four regions in the top 10 observations
• We have four regions in the top 10 species

• We have two regions in the top 10 observers.
  Well done everyone, and a special thanks to the organizers and coordinators:.

Some of us will take a day or two to finish uploading, but with any luck all your uploading is done.

If you wish to start with identifications.

Round 1: clear observations without any identification:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?quality_grade=needs_id%2Ccasual%2Cresearch&iconic_taxa=unknown&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2021-southern-africa-umbrella
Round 1 consists of 2,600 observations at present.

Round 2: clear those that need to get to research grade:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?quality_grade=needs_id%2Ccasual&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2021-southern-africa-umbrella
At this stage 68% of our observations are Needs ID - so quite a task ahead of us
