@jdmore linked to my posts on the related topic about IUCN updates: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/updating-iucn-red-list-conservation-statuses/25712/40
@tonyrebelo @jwidness this might help, it has an example that @loarie set out for how to specify that the taxon should be unobscured.
I have used that example through my curation, but I’d prefer to see a consistent rule. My first priority is to address NT species, since they are not threatened.
