My Vulnerable observations not displaying in a Custom Boundary

There is no custom or tailored view of observation locations on the explore page; locations display the same for you as they do for everyone. Therefore, it will not display true locations on map view for obscured observations or include them in queries with a small area, even if they are your own observations.

There is a feature request to view true locations on maps for observations with trusted hidden coordinates. However, staff stated:

The conservation status may not cause auto-obscuring if the threats do not include pressures that are increased from location disclosure. A little more info is included on this iNatHelp page: What is geoprivacy? What does it mean for an observation to be obscured?

I’m unfamiliar with the threats facing Bombus fraternus myself, but if you feel that threats to this specie are increased from location disclosure, you should place a flag on the taxon page and start a discussion there.

A little eye symbol will appear next to the location description on the observation’s page:

For observations that are not obscured, this shows as a pin:

On the explore page, obscured observations show up as a circle and unobscured observations show up as a pin:
