not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but maybe this might be what you’re looking for: [https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-get-kml-boundaries-for-inat-places-wiki/3750](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-get-kml-boundaries-for-inat-places-wiki/3750) ---

Hello and thank you, actually I just wanted to import some data in .kml in the explorer section, it used to work maybe a year ago but now the CSV import is the only possiblity and CSVs aren’t exactly working as they aren’t recognized as CSV in Excel. But thank you though. Regards. ---

Are you trying to export a KML file from the explore section to your computer? The option to download a KML from iNatuaralist was removed quite a while ago, partly because it never worked very well. If the CSV from iNat is not working in Excel, can you please send specific details (and the CSV) to [help@inaturalist.org](mailto:help@inaturalist.org)? ---

Good morning and thank you very much for these insights, trying to download kml through the explorer to my computer was exactly what I was attempting to do without any success (obviously). Ok, now regarding the CSV situation, Excel (2007) doesn’t recognize the rows and everything is displayed in a single cell, maybe this issue is related to my old Excel version? It’s like the commas weren’t interpreted as rows. I also need to reinstall QGIS to open the CSV and see if it works, do you think this kml situation will be fixed someday? Thank you again. Regard. ---

Like I said, please email the CSV to [help@inaturalist.org](mailto:help@inaturalist.org) so we can take a look at it. ---
