iNat Milestones

[lynnharper]

Today is my sixth anniversary of joining iNaturalist. It’s been six years of learning, exploring, learning some more, have my mind blown by the biodiversity out there everywhere, and maybe helping some other people engage with the natural world as well. Thanks, everyone, it’s been a real pleasure using iNaturalist these past six years - I’m hoping for many more!

Now I’m up to 1’128 identifications. Woohoo!

Certainly is pretty awesome to be making it into books. Te Papa will have one of my Mata in a book they are bringing out around april, which I am looking forward to seeing.

Congratulations, Lynn!
Thank you for introducing me and so many other people to iNaturalist.

iNaturalist has helped me be a better observer of what I am seeing outdoors. The act of noticing, and recording for others, requires us to slow down, and really be in the place we are walking through.

Going on trips with you and Karro has been great, even if you talk in Latin.

I hit 450 species!

I was very surprised to find out yesterday that I was the first (and until now only) observer of a species: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/862618-Prospero-hierapytnense

[texas_nature_family]

I hit 1420 obs!

[jbecky]

Not my milestones, but the iNat site just passed both 500,000 species reaching research grade and 400,000 identifiers. Both are nice milestones for the site,

Just finished going through every single non-RG salmonid observation! I guess I’ll start going through the Research Grade ones next?

[LostInCR]

That means the person on iNaturalist who has observed the most species accounts for nearly 5% of all species by themselves. That’s impressive.

[tiwane]

Yup! New blog post about this.

[Thunderhead]

Made it to 4000 before the end of the year

[Ajott]

I just managed to finish the last of my all-yearly personal goals, which are

make at least 1000 observations

of at least 500 different species

and also make at least 40.000 IDs

[DianaStuder]

Brava!!

[Thunderhead]

This crept up on me…

Thanks for making the forum fun!

Edit: I know this is the date for joining the forum. I joined iNaturalist Apr 25, 2018
