Description of need:
I heavily use Seek in the field when doing invasive weed removal. I appreciate that it badges identified plants with native or introduced or endemic (there may be others). As I also want to make observations and report them to iNaturalist, I end up using both apps every time I encounter a plant I want to identify. Would be nice to have that feature in iNaturalist.
Feature request details:
When identifying plant species with Seek, the following happens:
- Tap on the camera button to bring up the camera view
- Tap the camera button when a species is identified
- Tap on View Species button
- Note you get a badge that indicates if the specifies is introduced, native, or endemic (see screenshot)
- Follow the same steps in iNaturalist or iNat Next and note the badge isn’t there. (See screenshot)

Yes, it is a thing that we can’t see this information strait away on android mobile. As I only use the website rarely, I nearly would completely have missed the information (and maybe have at other species) that the species is endangered etc. - Happened to me a few times.
Even uploading with SEEK can’t fix that for good, as not every species is recognised as the exact/correct one in SEEK.
So you upload a certain sparrow with SEEK, which only says "somekind of sparrow " and than you talk about it with a friend, who you brought to inat as he had uploaded a sparrow some time later and find out, he sees a status at his observation on the pc. Then he tells you, that it cannot be, that sparrows are endangered…
You (me) go: whaat??
Start researching, find out, there are fewer individuals than there used to be…
So yes!! - It would be great to have this badge!!
Please!
Why is it saying zero votes, when I can see that I have voted for it?
