How do you choose a specific and small area for creating a project or Bioblitz?

you can create a place using google earth pro and then export the .kml file and upload to the add new place on inat. (be aware you may have to make the area slightly bigger or warn participants to make sure they set the accuracy aka ACC (circle), when you create an obs smaller). as if the accuracy extends out of the place it wont be counted in the project.

In my opinion, preferably an area with few or no non-wild organisms. New users are often attracted by what may be more familiar rather than wild, small, less showy and possibly more interesting (from a naturalistic point of view) things.

If you mean deciding where to blitz - a newly reclaimed area, or one in the process of being rehabbed - where it is interesting to record what returns. Work with rangers at a nature reserve, supporting something where they would appreciate more data. Or find an area on iNat’s map which is ‘blank’.
Round about Cape Town’s first bioblitz an annotation for Non-flowering was added. Reserve management appreciated fresh records for perennial plants out of blooming season. Fynbos is hard - many shrubs with small leaves. MANY!
Sadly no observations at all for Wolfgat that first time, but a nice list building up over the years since.
