Hello,
In the API, the key conservation_statuses
gives information as expected and the global conservation status can be retrieved from this by finding the entry with "place": null
.
However, the conservation_status
key is supposed to give the global conservation status, but it is both null
for taxa with conservation status “LC”:
https://api.inaturalist.org/v2/taxa/7018?fields=(conservation_status:!t,conservation_statuses:all)
And “DD”:
https://api.inaturalist.org/v2/taxa/74287?fields=(conservation_status:!t,conservation_statuses:all)
I assume this is because there should be no label on the taxonomy page, however, it makes the conservation_status
field useless in the API and makes it necessary to filter through the conservation_statuses
to find the global one.
