So I have this map. Those are the observations I have made so far in my plot of land. And I want to download it. And according to google and the IA I should be able. But I swear I just cant find how. Ive tried and tried. All I have managed to do is copy paste the text from my project webpage.

Can anyone kindly and as if I was a 2 year old with snots, explain me how do I do it?

I only have my cellphone and my tablet.

I want to make my land a natural reserve for the civil society and I need to prove my worth and reforestation project to the office in charge. So help me out please!

For a two year old with snots, I would download the data and attach it to my response.

Thank you.

How you did that? Because my mom and dad accounts also have observations . My account only has 900.

It could be done with web version of the Inaturalist. You can open Observation page, set required fields (users, place, taxa) and in filter dialog click the export button.
