Concern about # of observations

In my opinion, please don’t cool it on anyone else’s account!

A few thoughts:

  • iNaturalist isn’t just about the data, iNat is also here to help people connect with nature, even people who sit by their window. There are even people who can’t leave their backyard, and of course we want to help them connect with nature and use iNaturalist.
  • Every photo that you upload may improve our computer vision suggestion (photos of rarer taxa help more, but every photo helps)
  • Repeated studies of a specific area over long periods of time can also be helpful to researchers.
