I was just wondering if there was a way to see all of the iNaturalist observations for the endemic species of a certain region.

As far as I know you can only filter by natives. You’ll have to modify the URL manually to do this. Instructions are here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-use-inaturalists-search-urls-wiki/63#heading--taxon--status

Looks like you can do natives and endemics, but not just endemics. Not sure why that would be though.

I started a discussion about this a couple of years back. Might be worth looking through that thread. Not sure if much has changed regarding this topic. One of the issues is that the ‘endemic’ status isn’t automatically assigned, it has to be manually assigned, so many endemic species are not lab…

Yep, that’s been the subject of conversation as well. And there are issues with species that are regionally (national or state/province level) listed as threatened, endangered, etc but aren’t listed as such (or have a different status) on the global datasets.

Is there a way to search for endemic species
