Acoustic bat records

[pisum]

@bat_dude

How can this be remedied so that all of these potentially valuable contributions can be included on iNat, especially as they are also included in GBIF species distribution searches for ecological and conservation studies?

the actual call file must be posted along with any screenshots to verify the species, if possible

beyond that, there’s been a lot of previous discussion about bat recordings and such. just a sampling:
