This category is a catch-all for nature-related topics that aren’t directly related to iNaturalist. It’s not a place to get help with identifying your nature observations (that’s what iNaturalist itself is for!).
Nature Talk is for discussing cool articles, organisms, ecology, community science, stories, taxonomy puns, gear discussion, etc. Basically this is a place for iNat users to discuss their nature-y interests with other folks who are into nature.
This is not a place for:
-
Political discussions
-
Your thoughts on the latest non-nature-related movie, song, or book
-
Arguments
-
Rants or tirades
-
Solely promoting your work/cause or only linking to other sites, research, or news. If you want to share one of the above, your topic should be framed in such a way as to start a discussion here on the forum. This could be sharing what you found particularly interesting, how you think it is relevant to iNat/forum users, or asking people for their thoughts feedback on specific aspects
Enjoy!
