- Thank you to those who first addicted me to identifying on iNat. The can do ID team on iNat.
@tonyrebelo Walking iNat Encyclopaedia who shepherded his South African flock from iSpot to iNat to Cape Town winning our first City Nature Challenge in 2019. From whom our African baseline starts at 50% RG.
@bobmcd Low Growth Countries giving me a motivating link to mentor Africa.
@lotteryd (we started on iNat just months apart in 2018)
@astra_the_dragon and @arboretum_amy who together drove the first IDathons
@jeanphilippeb for my Pre-Mavericks
And to my constantly growing list of global 24/7 taxon specialists!
To iNat staff for those wonderful blog posts that crunch the numbers to beautiful graphics, and fluent text for the numerically challenged like me.
50% of IDs come from just 545 identifiers! We are the top 0.3% of iNatters (I wonder what percentage of ‘still here after the first year’?) Imagine the fallout if one of those accounts is deleted.
