I saw that an important observation of a critical endangered, endemic plant species was not addedd to a collection project: I obscured the coordinates after the species confirmation but I don’t believe that it is the reason why.
This is the observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/30936058#activity_identification_76216447
and the project is
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/flora-e-fauna-della-costa-viola-rc-italia
I think this is the reason. Even if you don’t obscure the location yourself, the system does that for all endangered species, so the observations are not added to collection projects if the obscured rectangle crosses the limits of the project area.
Yup, that’s a standard problem we’ve had too. T&E species don’t get added to the projects, and it’s a real bummer when you’re using projects to harvest data
