Can I get a list of species that haven't been seen in a place by a group of people?

I created a place last year which is a circle 50km around Ballarat in Australia.
https://www.inaturalist.org/places/ballarat-50km-radius
The purpose of the place was to capture observations by my local Field Naturalist Club, specifically in this project:
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/fncb-inaturalist
So far, members have observed 2567 species in this place. However, when I explore the place:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=196597
I see that there are observations of 5262 species.

My question is, can I possibly get a list of the nearly 2700 species which club members have not observed? I would like to challenge them to find some of the extra species during the upcoming Great Southern Bioblitz.

Thanks for any assistance!

I think you would pull up the place in explore and add this to the end of the url, appending the project name:
&not_in_project=

From the master list of strings for url manipulation:

unfortunately this approach doesn’t work here because it will show you every observation that isn’t in the project, not just the species not in the project. So plenty of common species will show up in the link that have already been observed in the project, but by observers that haven’t joined the project

Hello. You can use this tool. You have to manually add all members to the field.

There are 2367 missed species, not 2700, which included some higher taxa.

PS: It would be easier to use second tool, but currently it is impossible, I should fixed it first.

Wow! Thank you so much!
That is brilliant. Thank you for adding in all the members, too. So now I have my list, much more easily than I imagined it might be.

You are welcome)

It was easy. Just copy all observers and run one regexp on the list.
